Bell Tower

Paused on listing stairs
Faint melody tilts my head
Where'd that cell phone go?


Something eldritch about hunting for lost electronic gadgets. Buzzers, ringers, beepers seem to be everywhere and nowhere. Can't they miniaturize the jingle of bronze?

Hearth

ice offers wisdom
heat turns from the inside out
leaves flutter hollow

hummingbird-time

bright sun; wet sneeze bursts ~
weaving roll: and drops glint past ~
we live at tenth speed ~

I've read that hummingbird hearts beat ten to twenty times as fast as ours. Perhaps they experience time differently?
