It's Still Life

Undertones

He wants music,
not just sounds,
music found in every day things.

Combustion
that leaves
smoke on your hands.

The music of raindrops
in an empty tin.

Pots. Pans.
Brooms, and metal tubes.

Pen on paper.

The music of small words
like it, or at, or if, and

autumn’s music in the beech trees,
which are already
falling out of tune.
