“39. There were stones there were knives” in “Musing”

39.

There were stones there were knives

the window opened

Out on the moon to the sun

the houselights

Shone on the river shimmered on the ripple.

The winter garden grew a snow

almost green

And the noise of mobile phones

disturbed it

And the quiet of poetry. And so

The buzz of filler became

a found art

And I found myself filled

with a vacant heart.
