the biography of a metaphor
the silence finds solace
the silence finds solace
in the trembling of leaves.
a song sleepwalks,
traverses a heart.
corners of the sky
are dogeared.
he breaks the strings.
they etch star trails.
a fugue ruffles.
the trembling (of the heart)
seeks refuge
in the silence of the leaves.
he sleepwalks a song.
they crumble the sky.
love (seldom) dreams of a moon.
the comets whisper the secret.
a fugue explodes.
