Interrupting Silence (Jw)

Silence: no thought flushed No message in the still pond Of turbid waiting Cradled in the hush Time snails around the mute phone Morning left me sad The first call of day The finches usurp your place I long for your voice This is the first change Since love's season came again A brown leaf of care The woods counsel, says What is one day to miss you: A fountain of tears Your voice belong here In the tree top of my soul Nesting in my ear Let me write with light On the blank virtual page Electronic fright Day's concern is deep Brooding, can you still breathe there Did you wake from sleep O that all is well Despite the storm in the nest You will sing again Irk the stillness now The silent phone like the sea Before the dark winds Trees move not or bend Legless clouds droop on the sky Dismal pictures hang I want to hear you Tell me good morning like rain Upon the loud roof I want love splashing To your voice like wet children Playing in the stream I hunger for you The first fruit upon my lips Breakfast in the mist Pour your breast to me White milk of songs on my tongue, Sweet thoughts live again!
