antique oaken frame
hidden many years
in the attic



I listen for each lonely breath.

in the attic
a maple rocking chair
no babies to soothe
"and at my back I always hear time's wingéd chariot hurrying near..."

no babies to soothe
seasons brought an empty nest
deafening silence

deafening silence
no leaves rustling in wind
live oaks cut down
"and at my back I always hear time's wingéd chariot hurrying near..."

live oaks cut down
making room for expansion
of concrete jungles
I felt it shelter to speak to you  ~Emily Dickinson

on concrete jungles
you can find a hanging branch
trees grown between cracks

trees grown between cracks
grass invading flower beds
weeds throwing their seeds







I listen for each lonely breath.

drip sticky sap
