Hush
quiet
in the clouds
as a Cessna bird
wings away
quiet
in the ocean
at the bottom
of the sea
quiet
after the storm
when thunder
and lightning
crash to sleep
quiet
early in the morning
after a night
of rest
quiet
in the car
after the door shuts
and the funeral’s over
quiet
in the recesses
of the mind
after it empties out
like the sky
releasing rain
