Poem


      DECIBEL

      canyon maze
      a clear echo
      everywhere at once

      foghorn tone
      inside or outside
      the beached shell ?

      drip in a cave
      the only sound
      and all the sound

      wind gust
      swirling and moaning
      in a clapperless bell

      ancient anvil
      subaural vibrations
      from the first blow
