Monotonous Timbre

Monotonous memories

attached to strings

float into the sky

like butterfly wings

Hold on tight

all you want

still they drift away

like eternal hiccups

In between the ears

they rest

dust gathered under

an oriental carpet and old oak chest

Search all you want

to recall their details

but the timbre

is all you remember
