Leaves dance in the wind

vacuous smile on my face

mind empty, like sky


mind empty, like sky

quick, quick! the brown fox jumps in

over the dead dog

turned by momentum of spin

through revolving doors

 

Through revolving doors

we cycle many brief lives

some wiser, some worse

wind moves in trees

from a distance silence waves,

unless you hang chimes!

 

 

(leaves shimmering = waving 

 one is far away and cannot hear the wind---

it is silent)
