I take a knife
to cut the river
in two

I stop the wind
to ask
why

I trust
what I cannot
name

Juice

to be
liquid
in the way
I move
supple
not dry
tasteless
hard
out of
juice

Needle

a button waits
a needle hums

a thread whispers
through the eye

calm ascends
the button holds

as I
mend

Oops

a leaf flies
windblown
over a frozen lake

strange I should notice
the slip, the slid
then gone

a hint of now
perhaps of me
a lightness of being

the oops I see

Arrow

Listen: https://kaplop.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/arrow.wav

the pull
the bow

the aim
the unknown

the life
I know

Hermit of Brittle Air

Listen: https://kaplopblog.files.wordpress.com/2019/11/hermit-of-brittle-air.wavr

born to break
the grip of no
of crowd

a vow
on the wind
of why

a breath
of light
within
