IN THE CURSING

where are you
in the night?
I am
a frozen windchime
so still,
suspended
in the cursing
of autumn's chill;
and winter is
yet to come

~without a sound~

I will
invite the heat
of desert's parchment
and though,
I will not drink the sand
~again~
I will chime the mirage
to liquid real
filling your glass--my glass
for the toast

because I am thirsty,
because I need
..to touch the thaw,
..the thaw to touch me,
..to feel the sound,
..the sound to feel me

and because
I am tired,
so very tired
of touching sound
from opposite sides
of a windowpane~~

It would be a rare breeze indeed to warmly tussle your chimes this time of year. Chill out, the thaw we're always promised will arrive. In the meantime fog your windows and cleave to your hearth. Enjoyed the want of this.

I thought I just heard windchimes while listening to the stillness in this yearning.

longing... and loneliness of having only a partial way to express or live...

nicely done..
