For whom the wind tolls

And in one fleeting moment
draped in my sleepish song,
washed in the waters of
indefinite silence,
I will lose you to the ocean green
of a rainforest
into the night
and a firefly's breath.
Somewhere
hidden between the shadow and light.

My fingers will stop seeking you
in the lifeless corners of absence
in the empty clothes of lament
in the vacuous eyes of a squeezed cloud,

to find my freedom in the firefly's luminous hunt.
