silence
not even the wind blows
frozen
in a world of ice
.
silence
silence hides the names
of all things —
the sun
the moon
the wind
who i am
alley cat
.
beneath the bushes
dashing shadow to shadow
the alley cat hides
dashing shadow to shadow
the alley cat hides

beneath the bushes
slinking shadow to shadow
the alley cat hunts
slinking shadow to shadow
the alley cat hunts
OR as a “silence” haiku
silence —
beneath the bushes
shadow to shadow
the alley cat slinks
beneath the bushes
shadow to shadow
the alley cat slinks
.
AND as a tanka

11 a.m.
out the kitchen window — caught!
beneath the bushes
dashing shadow to shadow
the scruffy alley cat slinks
out the kitchen window — caught!
beneath the bushes
dashing shadow to shadow
the scruffy alley cat slinks

silence
silence
— and yet —
outside my window
the great allepo pine
arms swaying in the wind
waves franticly
to all and none
beware the ghosts
of flying dust
the clods of dirt
that have no home —
these days of March
are almost gone
— and yet —
the rain
has yet to come
