under the same moon
we hum our tunes
into the dark --
tiny vibe
rings across
the silk of night.
rippling the fabric
for miles --
waves inch towards you
as each succesive hymn
pushes them
across a million grounds
and up your wall
to your window...
I still sing
those wordless wonders
you've instilled.
and underneath
the birdless sky
I shed a wicked cry.
yet I can hear
wings flapping --
reverberating thumps
of caressed air
in the distance,
beating
with my heart
and bleeding out
the rhythm
that pushes me
towards you...
undressing our thoughts.
robes of scales
unfurl unto the ground.
as we continue
to extract symphonies
from dying melodies --
audiences
held captive
to rolling timpanis,
ice cellos,
and heated brass -
tuba blasts
that shatter clouds
while I sing
out loud..
and they won't doubt me
when I say
we rain crescendo storms
of purest notes
even when
we quiet down our moans
and all the winds subside.
because
there's harmony left
in our silence.
