[創作] After Long Silence

[yuuyh (倒吊人)]

After long silence,
a leave falls on an empty seat.
It makes the only sound
between the two
glaciers.

***

After long silence come the numbness
and then the transfiguration,
old deeds partly forgotten,
and the newly-sprung fiction
that fills up gaps and folds.

Reticence nourishes it.
Like grapevine it grows
from the back of your mind
and folds your eyes unaware.
It offers succulent grapes
by the ears. They smells good.

***

After long silence,
and the heat's over...

After the ghost slips away
off your sight... You know
you seem to see something
in the thousand faces you've met,
but another leave falls
on another chair
in the cold cold wind.

That has become a habit,
the desire to see the thing passing off your sight,
to search for something fleeting,
as if you'll catch it when you suddenly look back
and you can grin at it triumphantly.

But all you see:
dried grapes dangling
after long silence,
after the heat's over...
