an eighteen note vantablack
Victorian music box
welled up from the rings of
a tree stump.
far afield.
a little girl's hand reached
out & wound it.
to dissever music from rain--
where she withdrew into
the sheets that came down.
feeling through her throat...
a lifelong mute made in a
moment.
the eighteenth note coming
to rest.
