âSilent Springâ
O, the great sky!
Green and steep
the solid waves of the land,
breasts, shoulders, haunches,
serene.
The waveless ocean
arches its vertical silver,
molten, translucent.
Fine rain
browses the valley, moves
inland.
And flocks
of sunlight fly
from hill to hill.
The land
smiles in its sleep.
But listen â¦
no crisp susurration of crickets.
One lone frog. One lone
faraway whippoorwill. Absence.
No hum, no whirr.
And look:
the tigerish thistles, bold
yesterday,
curl in sick yellowing.
Drop the wild lettuce!
Try not to breathe!
Laboriously
the spraytruck
has ground its way
this way.
Hear your own steps
in violent silence.
