Music
The house for once stilled,
silence breaks like luck
of some kind. The light is on my back
and I am looking at the slow
mottling on my hand, each stipple
a story that happened behind my knowing.
My eyes, tired in search
of a new sight, are following
on old pattern. Somewhere, a machine
is winding down.
Only music
is fresh, so fresh it pricks like a conscience.
