The Wave
Is there sound at the bottom of the wave?
When the crack of my split-fingers breaks silence, and the whip hits the air.
It vibrates.
Is sound at the bottom of the vibration?
The crest and the trough sweep the air in back-forthed opposition, so that my fingers: could knock on the door of existence.
When I snap my fingers, does the sound make reverb like a drop in the water?

eyelids and earlids
eyelids and earlids
beauty from color
shapes
scenery
glimmer from a lake
all lost with eyelids closed
birds songs in the forest,
symphony of city car horns
beeping to a crescendo
cooing of a morning dove
breathing of a lover
all lost with ear lids shut
is one better
to loose than the other
one would have to ask Helen Kell...

Insomniac
Insomniac
The floorboards above
Crack like rheumatic bones
Late at night
The house groans
And wind whispers
Through the open windows
The curtains open
The lights out
The darkness presses

A streetlight drops
White light on the path
I can see a pale moon
Crawling through the trees
A cat sashays
Beneath the porch opposi...

Of any cacophonous Sitar
Where she creates
On my wounds
Riot of sounds
Without bounds

From Where I Sit: Music and Movement
A small flock of unidentified birds
flies into the skeleton trees
and disappears.
What magic is this?
Smoke from the boiler-house chimney,
at the mercy of the fickle wind,
blows this way and that, confused

of Mozart's violins: moving, then still
- a crescendo starts to build -
- falls away to keen -
- a lull -

The Dawn
among the blades of grass
Damp with dew
Clamouring with anticipation
of a new day
with its hues of pinks, blues and
smiling white clouds
was born to be seen
and exploded silently
All the better to listen
The fields cooed one by one
Even the surliest of trees
blinked in th...
