Before Hush

Before Hush

Light

Light creates darkness
Then calls itself to account
For what it has made

Mumbling

I keep on mumbling
To myself in blind wonder
That I might make sense

Work

My work is idling
To find what might be working
Me in my idyll

Gape

I gape at myself
In mirror I know I am
Word that reflects light

Evening

Evening comes on me
Rumors of day that whisper
Infiltrating worlds

Hush

Until none one more
Lap of words into the lap
Of unbroken hush
