...Inside...

Inside the silence

my heart hung a helpless rag

atop a pole

flipping right left flipping frightfully and

twisting mightily

in the fickle wind

demons nameless unseen

whirl racing madly

slicing past this pole

sunk deep into solid earth

turning patiently, a slow circle dance

rings the sun.

The long year is

a drop of rain

upon the face of eternity
