Tracing outlines in the starlit mist,
Unwritten verses echo through knotted time.
Voices weave forgotten hymns,
Lunar slides on horizon's ridge,
Steps antagonize silence,
The song, halting earnestness, falters.
Where did the spiral tone first ascend?
To breathe, refill dusty halcyon jars.
Riveting rainfall,
Germination in overshadowed corners,
All misplaced melody desiring twists,
Shadows pale unto unknown features.
