Lost
every nerve exposed-
in the comfort of her mind
she shuts out the world
–
long afternoon shadows-
an old rocking horse
threadbare and faded
Category Archives: Sound
Tracks
walking in the tide
my temporary footprints
too soon forgotten
–
gentle flurries-
fresh tracks lead
to the birdbath
Lines
night in the forest
an passing train rumbling
off in the distance
–
distant music-
blackbirds perched
on power lines
Need
lashed tight to the mast-
tempted by the siren song
of just one more drink
–
steaming pavement-
distant sirens bay
at the full moon
Rhythm
shortening my stride
slowing behind old lovers
walking hand in hand
–
icy harbor-
the crush of a
rising and falling tide
Serenity
gossamer weavings-
drops of early morning dew
snare the rising sun
–
birdsong-
the stillness
of false dawn
Quiet
so much left unsaid
I’m not sure that I can take
your icy silence
–
pools of sunshine-
the soft dripping
of melting ice
Suppression
deafening silence
our civil ramparts falling
amidst the chaos
–
spring rain-
roaring floods muted
underwater
Waves
a pair of otters
dozing in the sun floating
far out in the bay
–
bleached driftwood-
iridescent sand
on the ebb tide
Echoes
I still feel you here
disturbing the emptiness
well after you’re gone
–
thunderclouds-
hard rain off
the tin roof
