The Peating of My Heart


The Peating of My Heart


It’s a lonely thing,
The sudden silence.
Birth waters still; settling.
But, listen to the resonance
In the furrowing,
Where the whispering dead-wood
And deep-shadow crawling
Echoes
To the peating of my heart.


(For Michael's recently deceased mother, and mine, 21st May 2001)
