Weep Willow Reeds<\/h2>\n

by Konstantin Nicholas Rega<\/p>\n

After rain
\nthe earth has forgotten
\nwhere it keeps you.
\nBut I disturb my pocket
\nand retrieve a flute
\nfrom the dark hollow
\nI have dug with greedy fingers.
\nBone-white,
\nfor it is bone\u2014
\nyour bone\u2014
\nthat I have carved
\nto go deedle deedle dee.
\nDay to day
\nI sit under a tree,
\nits branches tangled
\nleaves overhanging and shielding,
\nand cast my voice
\nthrough this porcelain reed:
\nour past replaying.
\nRound and round
\nthe song breathes
\nlives as my blown needles
\nscrape and leak
\neach spinning memory.
\nAnd yet
\nI wonder
\nwill there be anyone
\nto play a tune
\nfor me?<\/p>\n
