a wind in stillness by Manas MokshaA late august storm fraps
against the loose window pane
rattling Morse code of a hollow Wind
Breaking stillness
in a clay bowl of Fall and Spring
Seasons bound together by emptiness in change
The crescendo of deep breezes whipping
the sound like streamers catching the arbor
funneling up through the jamaica plain
A needling of rain drops
sews midnight's moisture
into a continual relapse of summer's silence
Life saturated
in a breath of momentary change 08/23/2010 Posted on 08/24/2010 Copyright © 2024 Manas Moksha
