Anna’s anergia ameliorates as afternoon’s air, allowed apartment access, amplifies anticipations—activating artistic avenues amid agreeable auditory ambiance after another August ambulation. ; )

Once upon a sill sans tree,

Sat a cat critically;

While novercal in its stare,

Left milieu as few as bare.

Behind fortress’s island isolated,

Untethered from day’s obligations,

Illumination waited.

Escape ticked neither destination nor dream—

Just moments in breaths of existence—

Til time or what it may seem. ; )
