VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

For you, twilight falls
shy and gray-winged
on the window ledge --

a wren
whose throat is splashed
by moonlight.

His song echoes
the faint pulse of leaves
shivering from dew

and laments
the distance between us.

For me, the sun is still out
licking grass
to a succulent green.

Its scent
pervades my skin
as if the longest whisper
of your voice were clipped

and tucked breast-deep
by wind

under the blue shadow
of my slip.
