Questions of Fortune, August 2nd

in shadows birds sing
along a side street
for when something ends
something begins

something begins
a song or verse
in a moment of solitude
a verse

a verse
claims a voice
its own
laughter or plaintiff cry

laughter or plaintiff cry
the morning rises
from last night’s dreams
clouds veil skies

clouds veil skies
a question of rain
answers we seek
time will tell

time will tell
with a whisper
a soft breeze
in shadows birds sing
