What Noise

What noise at the door?
A ghost only,
a shadow of the Hunter's Moon.

What did the cricket say?
Spoke only of wheat,
barley & grass.

How spoke the shadow?
With harvest of asphalt
and oil on the water.

Who remembers?
Fat Charley and his brother,
living by the river.

Who dances with Orion?
The owl, the mouse,
the barren rabbit warren.

What noise?
The wind, my love,
it's only the wind.
