Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Nothing More Than a Gust of Wind

you better than anyone
know the power of words
their careful selection
their perfect timing

mostly though you know
the power of reserve
of holding back
of innuendo

the suggestion with nothing said
no commitment
no evidence
no trace

the knock
the open door not entered
like the wind there and gone
