  5. The saddest sound I ever heard was the closing of a door.
    Not a slam; just a gentle click, then he was there no more.

      I've never seen that movie so I'd presume not, but I've no idea, really. If it is, it wasn't intentional.

    today,

    I find Bangladesh,
    and red children

    of love

    at a simple lake
    with crowns
    of green mornings.



    now my hair
    is sleeping

    on the wind,

    like grasses
    that spin
    a wispy touch

    for windows
    of water lily.


    and there around it
    is us,

    a language
    spoken
    at times

    of drowning
    as love
    in a boat
    that sinks.




    a butterfly grieves
    into Dhaka,


    with silence
    that is never unheard.
