The Sound of Silence
The space between my presence and the twitter of birds
The cradle of my night
A bubble racing over black tar
The cat crossing the laminate floor
Eighty-eight ivories following the New Year’s party
Conversations with God
Time that’s stopped
The laughter that isn’t mine
Blinking eyes
Watercolor poppies on canvas
Silence envelops my body
Oh, that it would enter my brain.
