Breaking Silence

Basking all day

sweet reflections

silence broken

by pileated miners of trees

air whispering through needles

high beyond rooftops

but not so far up

as bedtime stars

and stars and stars

set in jet

diamonds zinging

free of prongs

We break the silence

ourselves

Oh! we say.

Oh!
