Emptiness listens—
and plays upon taught heartstrings
Patiently— she waits
HAIKU 0131
Astuteness mastered—
the red fox leaps precisely
Arrow in the snow
HAIKU 0111
The comedian
hit the audience with shtick—
They say he killed it!

HOLLOW
Hollow timpani
beckons—
emptiness sings
It’s silent song.
Simply intricate
in its glorious arrangement—
subtly quiet.
Omnipresent.
Vibration
ceasing—
overwhelming
deafening hush.
A moment ticks
beyond yourself,
Drum beat— Heartbeat—
Silent beat—

THE DANCE
Tears
have fallen for
the presence of a large band
moving every heart in the room.
Hearts have fallen too.
Long flowing gowns
and beautiful hair
accentuate
the rhythm and rhyme of three-four time.
Sharpness is a well-dressed man
firmly leading his partner to the depth of herself.
A sight to behold.
The display may linger—
Forever.
Enlightened by crystal chandeliers,
captivated by eyes
speaking in a whirl of emotion.
The call of leather—
the scent of a woman—
A playground for the soul.

SILENCE
Peer into eternity—
Starlight’s twinkles
are speaking
an ethereal
whisper
Expanding endlessly —
drawing ever closer
Falling forever
through the hush—
quiet the lonely
silent screams
of your aching
homesick heart
Comfort yourself—
Bathe in the rich black ink
of a thousand voices—
Silently speaking truth
