wind chimes

`



small sounds
twinkle in the ear
soft velvet touch
invisible fingers quietly
mingle on a weathered cheek
with sullen humid arvo sweat

bleating echoes in the wind
dessicated foliage rustle
as creaking floorboards
whisper willowed memories --
childhood's laughter rings
clarion of tomorrow fades
