| Hush | |

The break in rhyme is intentional -- life is like that sometimes. A hush came falling but made no sound Just the whisper of trees passing secrets around Then a deep, distant rumble the rumor of rain As cloud tops mumbled accepting the blame. You in the kitchen and I in the yard held A mug of coffee you poured, such favored warmth. Then you called to me. At least you said you called But I wasn’t listening (the way I sometimes don’t). You must have called with your arms, your lips, your eyes In a voice so much like vapor it vanished with the years. Had you called with your heart, that I would have heard But you weren’t calling for me, not for me but for you. So I trod the hush as it lay on the ground and The secrets passed softly, branch to bough around As the clouds bumped together and grumbled and complained I drank the warmth you poured for me and yes dear, I heard you then.
