No tree falls, so there’s nothing to hear
just a shrub of lilac flowers, they appear pale, bleached to white in the harsh sunlight
the fragrance too delicate to be clear
even when breathed in deep and long. Outside
the four winds quickly disperse it wide.I bring an offhand handful in the room
and a dimmer light reveals what sunlight hides.
