Breathless Wave

Breathless Wave

Debby Sorensen Carlson

Envy not the tuneless note
that falls forsaken upon
an infidel of natures' curve
like an unsprung alien song.

Shallow lilt or tempted fate
each cleft lost to silently crave
that one moment of splendored sound
willed upon music's breathless wave.
