There.
The whispered invites to unravelling mysteries of the forest.
Under the wooden bridge with the curved back of a tortoise,
currents carry myriad pieces of a yellow-sun, captured by a
humming female
in a sketchbook
crowded
with birds and stars;
the brook sculpts decades of progress over
the boulders, turns them into the chiselled
art, not for sale;
the crystalline flow echoes the
gentle rhythm of a lover’s heart
headed for a late rendezvous in
the sacred grove, where cicadas
sing the joy
of a free sky to a hooded figure.
The scented wind
croons lullabies in
the ears
of an Orphic troubadour
resting on the grass
under the Juniper tree, old guitar nearby,
as the black
chimneys belch ribbons of smoke, far-off.
