Where we don’t listen (Day 989)


Where we don’t listen   a symphony 

sleeps   wise toads sink 

and wallow among ancient chroniclers 

of summers yet to come


Where we don’t look   shifting flocks 

of geese smudge the sky

a blue road   unspooling 

toward an improbable ending


Where we don’t speak   moths struggle 

silently  against the lie of a lightbulb   

gray snowflakes   fluttering   

skipping across an uncurtained window
