Fabric of truth

                          
                               Quilting  Art by Valeria Hill

Wind’s murmur through
channeling wall
brings voices:
my neighbors’ late dinner,
the weather broadcast,
the buzzzzzz….
maintenance pulls motorcycle
leaving behind the clouds of dust

the strain in the drain is fixed,
the water went into earthen womb
the restless day rolled
in the evening bowl
filled with stars, stories
of spying moon
with ebbs and flows of glory
in crispy air of burning runes

they dipped  in erratic layers of
light concealed the truth
partly swallowed by hunting night
clinging to rain caboose  
aware of  fair fall fest
star fever gone at dawn
good place ,
spinning the fortune wheel
the heart pumping loud.

  5. I liked your capture of the sounds of the day, and especially enjoyed the lines about "the evening bowl filled with stars, stories of spying moon"

  6. I specially love the imagery of the second stanza,

    the restless day rolled
    in the evening bowl
    filled with stars, stories
    of spying moon

    Thanks for participating with Real Toads & Wishing you Happy Week ~
