Another Poem - Darkness Blown Out By Wind by Melody Montgomery

Darkness Blown Out by Wind

Much rang true, like something...
in the cadence of sounds droning sorrow
that illuminated
as the light illuminates what could be

as in any reality, what can be
a display of the white blossoms on the trees
the birds' steady song, to which I listen
under a blanket frayed relics and sweet memories
like the quilt's fabric my grandmother helped me weave

where the stars and moon shine past the shearing whistle
of galvanized creaking until the roar of its engine
becomes a gentler sound, carrying beveled glass
and honey to all the homes in the world

fading like my squeek and the sounds of night
with the changing lights, a low hum like...
an entirely other source of energy - point zero
with the beginning of spring growing nearer and closer

a fresher morning.
