I'm afraid your title and last line are just too esoteric. I spent a lot of time googling words that left me confused. Too bad because the rhythm and the way way you stretched the rhyme without it sounding like a nursery rhyme made an otherwise excellent poem less because of it IMO.

It occurred to me that Stella("A Streetcar Named Desire?") was like a "cat woman" moaning (meowing?) as she was exciting you in her self-pleasure in the night(in noctem?), but I may be completely off the mark, which means (a) I misunderstood what others would not, so disregard my comment or (b) you need to re-work the last line and title.

I thought the simplicity of this very accomplished, with a teasing romantic eroticism. Not quite sure I am guessing right as to what the final line means, but that is probably just me showing ignorance.

Nice in Nocte

As with others who left comments I felt there was more to this than meets the eye.

But, I still liked it.
