/ myul /as in “a mewl of clouds”

a poem by Mary Buchinger

---

what calls;   plaintive;   bored;

whine

against the void;

stricken;   suggestive;

test of an audience;

voiced   yearning;   flush with stripe & variation;

improvised;   reedy batik;

crescendo  &  apex;

roams unharnessed;

belies a pragmatic constitution;

moody;   piecemeal   summoning

of a world & its inhabitants;

what is not-contentment;

covert  lightning;   grating or tender;

ripened

apathy;

magnifies silence
