August 23- August 27 Week 25/72
the fabric of sound
has changed from the bright, multi-colored
Aguayo cloth of summer carried on the backs
of red-winged blackbirds, orioles and tree frogs
the fabric of sound
has now become more like a lightly toned
linen-like fabric textured only by crickets
hidden in the tree canopy where
squirrels stealthily snip maple branches
sending samaras floating to the ground
the fabric of sound
is now woven silently by silk-loving arachnids
and caterpillars readying for a transformation into
delicate orbs hanging by the notes of single threads
