of cricket song ...
stillness
Gift of Silence, 2018
Note: My poem was written in response to the following haiku by Leonard Cohen (1934-2016):
Leonard Cohen’s well-known “Summer Haiku” was written in North Hatley, Quebec’s Eastern Townships, and dedicated to his friends, Frank and Marian Scott.
"Summer Haiku"
silence
and a deeper silence
when the crickets
hesitate
