The dance to the moonlight sonata

The silence wrapped grey streets before dark night
in a smooth-black intangible airy tippet,
that was embroidered tender with the light
of the bright-white enchanting starry sequins.

The town dozed off under the round moon,
slight turning on the windows of the cottages,
those chased away the winter blackish gloom.
All waited for a night unusual voyage.

The whitish snakes of the slight jingling frost
were creeping slow along the cozy narrow
bow-twisted streets and the quick-moving ghosts
left snowy tracks on the sharp fences' arrows.

The town dozed off... The roofs of the huts-twins
had scattered wide the sparkling snowy plateaus
for the white winter and the restless wind
to swirl the dance to the moonlight sonata.
