“Sonnet of the Sound”
I hear a wind a’whistling through my door.
The result is nothing special: when it rains it pours.
I listen as I see the water fall…. Dampness is the dream
where light hides its shiniest truth:
A rainbow, all stirred up in song
Like David used to sing to please the LORD.
Sound off, one, two, three, four…
I hear a wind a’whistling through my door.
Underneath is a wet floor; the heat has risen,
the sound has been stirred up,
A stoked fire against the cold and precipitating rain
finds its way through the shade of cloud
to give us one more time in circular repetition:
Flowers.
