Deeper than Silence
©June 15th, 2015
Vijaya Sundaram
gentle twang of strings
thrilling to ten-year old
tender fingers in golden
room filled with sweet childhood.
clicking of keys on computer
here in room awash in
sweeps of scarves and sheets.
whoosh of cars outside
dividing rain-washed streets
flinging aside water
cutting through space
hiss of electricity
the steady hum of it
permeating the air
outside my ears makes me
still, stiller than still
retreating to a place
deeper than silence.
