midday

 

mid day heat

the air heavy

with words

 

 

 

 

fly

fly in the web

I back away

from him

 

 

 

fading

 fading heat

along the riverbank

willows weep

 

 

 

hiding

 

hiding above

the budding branches

spring starlight

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

rush

 

rush hour

the stillness before

and after

 

 

 

so

 

so many wishes

deep in the well

silver shimmers

 

 

 

 

lingering

 

lingering chill

I wrap your scent

around my neck

 

 

 

 

spring

 

 

spring

I silence my alarm

to hear the songs

 

 

after

after the rain

sunlight spills

 into puddles

 

 

silence

silence now

yet still

the clock ticks
