on my sweating window pane
shades of night remain
a brown moth now erudite
glittering figment of the dark night
billowy kite that soared overhead
ferrying electric blades that swiped
morphing into a placid stamp
glued to my window sill
silhouette that spited my foggy lens
now shares dawn's bright dividend
his lingering presence no allure
once glowing pendant
a dingy plaid fan with
ruffled mast fully unfurled

Always a lot in there! Nice one, - I think the only bits I'm uncertain of their meaning are

ferrying electric blades that swiped - are they its wings?

that spited my foggy lens - his eyes, or camera?

much liked ' morphing into a placid stamp glued to my window sill' and

  'a dingy plaid fan with ruffled mast fully unfurled'

Yes, you are right on both accounts, Rhiannon. The swiping blades are the moth's wings, and the foggy lens are my eyes. Thanks for stopping by, and for sharing your opinions!
