Interpreters needed February 2006
Interpreters needed - February 2006
On Mondays we listen
to hear what the planet thinks,
turning and turning.
The trees strain, bend – the wells
murmur, maybe go drier.
All the oceans clench
their silvery fish as if they’ll never
let fish fling themselves
onto the banks to join us.
Even the birds keep their black
shorthand in the sky
to themselves
when the earth won’t
think out loud for us, so
mute, inscrutable.

The earth thinks....
Well nice work & disheartening to know the bitter truth.
Keep on... we are admiring your work!!!
Thanks Pran - My son and his wife have been here from Germany [he's a conductor there] and I haven't visited my blog for quite a while -I will be back later today.
