Literature Text

and the calm of the skies is silence—

silence of deadly storms rests eyes
      for just a moment

silence of a highway
      when no wheels shift their
      weight on it

silence of
      snow hugging the bases of
      trees, it falls— flakes
      onto the backs of
      flurries onto the backs of
      the blizzard’s winds

silence of when you
      hope that when your hand
      embraces hers
      she wont pull away

—and the sound of the skies is open eyes
23 April 2018

for AlpinusTheFox whose prompt for me was "a short time of peace in the middle of a storm" from a zillion years ago

storm eye opens anew

after false calm

I thought it done



rocks rock me

in my crib

no, avalanche



did the hand

pull away or

did it stay?



please tell,

we long to know

the storm eye



watches so

brews to blow

please tell it so



did the hand

pull away or

did it stay?
