he pleads I stay, perhaps settle in
for just one more song.
Mmmm. Ok,

I particularly love this line, very alluring indeed!
I do love a good (B)ambi(Dexter)us poem.
“in my ear of the sin
-chronization of clock and crow.” … This, and the last two stanzas, rock my world.
This is superb–very evocative.
Woah, I hope she escapes this dance, but I suppose she’s trapped! I sense danger ahead!
