Solitary cello
Low as a warning
Dust in the window
Sky barely mourning

Boot prints
Cut through the clover
Frost clings
Even in October
House stands
Hollow as a witness
Name on the mailbox
Painted in forgiveness

I feel the world
Hold its breath again
Ashes in the orchard
Snow that never lands
Waiting in the dark
For the storm to speak
Heartbeat like a drum
In the hollow of my chest

Old knife
Sleeping in the kitchen
Phone lines
Ringing with omission
Candles
Stacked into a chapel
Hope like a match head
Shaking as it crackles

Violins rising
Like crows from a field
All that we planted
Rotting under heel
Say you are coming
Or say you never will
Either way I’m listening
To the wind on the hill

I feel the world
Hold its breath again
Ashes in the orchard
Snow that never lands
Waiting in the dark
For the storm to speak
Heartbeat like a drum
In the hollow of my chest
