Dark photo of lake surrounded by mountains with hint of stars in sky and steam rising form water.

the day turns the switch
and I hear cadence in each
sliding drawers in rooms
sink humming streams
giggling down the drain
you, treading air next to me
on with dewey-faced dream

these soft thoughts
of rhythms on mute
and lake telling me
she is out there too
with ionic whispers
in her soundless being
