A Question that Hangs

the eye of talon always
haunts the white innocence
leaping in the green
silence of the grass

perhaps a mystery that hangs
between the sky and the earth

may be the sea's always heavy
with the waves who always
struggle for a language for meanings

the boats lie on the shore
like the bitten nails
of Rodin's absence
