So We’ve Heard

So We’ve Heard

This patch of quiet seconds is a symbol
for silence For a moment you close in on
how disturbance falls away The branch
slouches The neighbor’s dog’s collar
jingles out of the yard How much is
an example worth My currency has
always been the image or a portrait
of a sound you recognize A clearing
away of sound What does that sound
like The patio grows serious around me
and then together we listen for the future

  1. " . . . A clearing / away of sound What does that sound / like . . . ." I'd love to see how a visual artist would interpret these lines. What possibilities! Wonderful!
