Five not so easy pieces

[birdonthewire]

Silences

This brooding silence,
echo of a despondence
that our road ends here.

Renovation

Mason breaking tiles,
shrouded in a dusty haze
I watch and resist
an immaterial grief
rising from the detritus.

Linger

In the school lobby
I listen, till she completes
Her swimming lesson;
She was born for the water
I, to linger in daydream.

Burnt Waters

The river,

Burnt Waters and Unfit for Consumption are striking.

There is a curious phenomenon of how the order of the poems changes their impact : the sounds from Renovation (the masons breaking tiles) and the swimming pool remained in my mind as I read the next two poems...Just a thought to ponder on as you experiment with your writing.

That's a really interesting observation. I didn't mean to do that, but certainly something to think about.

Just posted these together as I am lazy to post each one separately. :)
