each word universe formed
eons of eternity set down on a page
-worlds within worlds
silence the gentle wake of a stars supernova
all tongues quiet as mice.

a fist full of expression
a hand up in the air

sign language
learned in the jungle

a skewed look
mouth wide open

tiny tiny steps
walking on water

cradled womb
voice of silence

the invisible wind
plays her tunes
picks time and places

looking out from history
making a guess comes natural

the future is in flux
all the minute detail

blowing on dandelion seedheads
was an hourly affair

the doomsday clock
has always been ticking.
