Three violins play to listeners and one
plays to me, a version of the same tune
I am constantly chasing
where the dusk meets the tree
find the orchestra of a night's travel
adjusting the bows set for play
an owl hoot, three ravens in sight
treetops drenched with water
the wind, their calamity
this is what happens to those
who love too much
talk too little
I have heard it, a lamentation
the size of a pea
echoing into the high trees
this is what has touched me
today the breaking voice of a child
sound has its ways
repeat, this,
I know the river will go dry despite the rain
no one can drain the ocean
but one can repeat a song
a million times
into hearing
