A SOUNDLESS SONG

A frozen wave from the roadside
Between the dreamy trees marching backwards

A goat mercilessly tearing
At the petticoats of a tree unable to flee

Bloated cows crunching mouthfuls
Of helplessly trembling verge side grass

A boy-man sitting on the coiling trunk
Of a fallen tree gone dry
Plucking on the fishing twine strings
Of a tin banjo
A soundless song for you as you drive past
