First Line: Sometimes night is so still
Last Line: From soil to star.
Subject(s): Silence
Sometimes night is so still,
The air beyond
Presses about my sill
Like a dark pond.
As it congeals to crush
Me, and fears edge,
A cricket cracks the hush
With silvery wedge,
And once more silence flows,
Friendly and far,
In ripples of repose,
From soil to star.
