sound

sound

I only heard a sound that day –

day went out with silence;
sound followed

songs of angels fell --
my listening ears fancied them well

a few clouds spotted
with birds flew over –

upturned
faces listening –

small wind blew through
blue-green pine needles—

-- sky turned grey

I only heard a sound that day –

lonesome
-- and glad for it

sound of quiet laughter
children make at play

mcdonalds sold its
trillionth burger –

more cattle died
-- we all need shoes . . .

huge snow fell, dupont opened
new laboratories, while last summer's

cattails finally fell into the bog

stop lights flashed red --
go lights flashed green –

the whole world stopped and went
-- in a dream

while dead trees stood
guard over their young ones

I only heard a sound that day --

while earth
-- spun round

sound of blistering
light speed

that made no
sound at all.
