Muses of a forgotten summer

A stir in the winds, 
ashen sky: 
summer nightfall.

.................................

Dust on the door mat, 

a scattered table: 

departures. 

...................................

Scattered clouds, 

fainting sound of temple bells: 

a summer evening quiet. 

.....................................

A stir in the shadows

stabs the perfect quiet: 

a lonely evening. 

.......................................

Birds flutter across the grey sky, 

a leaf surrenders to the wind: 

an exile of summer. 

...............................................

A dissolving sunset, 

a tinge of stolen orange: 

sparrows announce the summer. 

....................................................

In the warm summer, 

scent of rain: 

anticipations bloom. 

.....................................................

A bird painted on a grey sky, 

cacophony on the streets: 

a lost shadow. 

.........................................

Where is home? 

come plant my shadow, 

my roots grow in emptiness. 

..........................................

Crowded stations, 

a couple sipping emptiness

between cups of coffee: 

hibernations of a forgotten winter.
