Listening To Birds

The whispers of Centuries

passed down

in code,

such Cellular messages

repeating themselves incessantly

to the same End

 

There is no time lost

she sayslistening to birds gold

only time deepened

 

the repetition, of a stutter

a Call,

the re-enactment

of a moment

 

Nothing is forfeited in Repetition

we repeat the moment

unequivocally,

until we Seize the moment

or don’t

 

Wearing Your Scarf

To TSW

In the choice of Rubbing

Wool into Silk,

Saturating it with several Colors

merging in Spheres

as if by Consent,

you give something

of your Substance,

Renders like a piece of you

brushing my neck

a whisper

only, but a whisper

all the same –

*

a Murmur of your person

 Murmur

only I can detect,

cherish, as I Wrap

the wool and silk

about my Nape

*

On the point of Departure

you have turned

once more, Winked

as you do

then faced your new Destiny

moving forward

leaving a Thrum

such a coded message

embedded in the Work

of the life you leave

Behind
