dying year . . .
blackbirds sing
off key
December 2012
restless waves —
tidal debris drifts
through my dreams
trembling
after the fall —
fig leaves
before dawn
this revenant breaks wind
in sullen rapture
pre-dawn chill . . .
backwash from night's flotilla
of dreams
advent dawn —
over shadows
a dove broods
at prayer —
a brooding dove
waits within
restless dream . . .
silence rumbles in
from dead stars
star stream . . .
night exhales
its breath
sound of rain . . .
the distant silence
rests within
advent dawn —
an apparition of light
colours each breath
