“A poem that describes a place, particularly in terms of the animals, plants or other natural phenomena there. Sink into the sound of your location.” (https://www.napowrimo.net/day-fourteen-12/)
What difference:
A trembling of the ground?
Or a rumble of deep sound?
What difference:
A spike of fear?
Or a shriek to pierce the ear?
Pitch becomes hum becomes rhythm
Becomes a feeling in the bones.
Such sounds travel miles
Through the earth,
Through rock and river,
Tree and terrain,
The great beasts speaking
Across vast spaces,
Vast spectrums.
Deep time in
Thunderous silence.
John the Librarian
