AIR

whispers before
they are
words

      dust  
rising like memory

a thought
you didn’t think

the bird
is not the wind
but moves
as if it remembers
being it

       drift  
between breath and sky

a pause becomes a place
I go
and
go

                           silence turns  
   over itself  
until the hush
becomes a question


                                   not asked
not waiting
to fall...
