distant tides of highway noise
split by the train’s bright aubade
closer to your ears than mine

the way the wind picks up your
voices reedlike lilting cross
flying floating fabrics the

collected crumbs bits of fluff
dust found floating in the air
denoting the sticky side

of fabrics so silken soft
as in a morning sunrise
lilting floating voicelike cross

tides of lawns more moss than grass
singing through the storm distant
train ringing through memory
