Distance—a corroded lamp by the street, Some trees incline in a windless shush, A narrow, lone path meanders between. And there—a red house, austere and still. At times, I stand by its broken gate, And pause where silence thickens I listen—though nothing moves or stirs, The evening descends like a vague veil Over the roof, the branches, and the dust. Like a fool, I remain in taciturn awe The dusk gradually engulfs the lone place. I cherish the notion you might have come, And sit here long in a numbed trance. If you ask me why, I could not elucidate.

Where silence thickens
Distance—a corroded lamp by the street, Some trees incline in a windless shush, A narrow, lone path meanders between. And there—a red house, austere and still. At times, I stand by its broken gate, And pause where silence thickens I listen—though nothing moves or stirs, The evening descends like a vague veil Over the roof, the branches, and the dust. Like a fool, I remain in taciturn awe The dusk gradually engulfs the lone place. I cherish the notion you might have come, And sit here long in a numbed trance. If you ask me why, I could not elucidate.
