The Hollow of Time




 The Hollow of Time

 
 

Tree roots line the way

like columns of ribs,

as if a body lies unformed.

The shadows of branches

lie much the same.

The sun is cold and bright.

So much more flows

along this path,

unbidden.

Messages fly --

seeking memory.

Such as it is --

not enough simply

to walk or look for

moss on ledges.

So much more flows,

yet birds still sing.
