WORDS

 

That tremulous flame
cries
in the song of silence,
WORDS fill my head
they have nothing left to say
their time is past,
WORDS ~ a crumbling milestone
in the desert,
But have we reached it
or does it recede in the distance?
In trying to solve this question
I stand still
and a warm wind blows forever.

 

 

(1979)
