A Quiet Wall

Roger G. Singer

A drifting of the hand, like a language,
moves to the tables edge, slipping over
as if it were the last autumn leaf to fall;
fingers point downward, surveying the floor.

A one sided quarrel, a half opened window,
the heart is failed, loosening the waters of the soul;
a deep gulf separates between hearts.

The trailing end of a voice is reduced to the ashes
of another’s flames.
A quiet wall forms in a desert of thirst.
