Trappings
these subtle belongings
revealed by imaginings
driven by the inner eye
tearless but not dry of tears
half in solitude but half haunted
softly sad
muted or stuttered
or bit off in grief
or trailing off into silence
or unnoticed
a voice over the radio
speaks of tragedy
a street musician song hits the walls of buildings
a dog shivering
in the cold
outside the grocer
a hollow
vacant window
a sound
hidden within
the darkness
the night
