Moss The wet rock How still the air. Turned earth Strewn stones A single fern. The forest deep Weighted For silence. The green bloom Spring leaf Illumination. Listening A darkening world A new moon. Rain charged air The viscous membrane Coughs. So quiet Nightfall Breaking waves. Memory The trick of the past A deer barks. Wondering words Damp The paper splits. There is knowing Just here The rain starts again.
