Silent Valentine

The complete summer silence
that happens one morning
in the middle of summer
when almost nothing is heard
hushed birds hidden in foliage
is followed soon enough
by the complete autumn silence
that happens one morning
in the middle of autumn
when absolutely nothing moves
everything in the world
dead or asleep or in a trance
the trees still full of leaves
a call coming from far away.
