		<description> I.

Here and there the sound

of a dumbek can be heard through

the toes of this third story apartment.

The noise is an ever-arcing crescent,

the beat waxing and waning:

doum doum doum



I imagine the man: sweaty palms, and

seasoned fingertips gliding over the smooth

surface of the leather.

A thousand years of Islamic history and culture

wanting to be heard

and remembered.



II.

You bang the pots as loud as

any three-year old with chubby hands.

A thousand days of exuberance

waiting to be exorcised from the body

like some uncontrollable demon.



“Mommy, look” you say;

and you want to be heard,

so your feet stamp and shake the floor -

ten tiny toes thrumming the carpet’s surface

like dancers in a harem.



III.

You are the language I speak

and we won’t understand each other

with dry tongues.

But sometime after midnight

when bellies are full

and the laundry is folded neatly,

and your voice is a breath,

you’ll shuffle out, sleepy-eyed

whisper, “Mommy, look”.



Palms sweaty and fingertips grasping yours,

we’ll remember to turn off the lights,

leaving shadows on the walls

and crawl back in bed

like the slow beat of a drum.  ... more  </description>

		<title>~Autumn Last Remembered~</title>
		<link>https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11905-autumn-last-remembered</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11905-autumn-last-remembered</guid>
		<description>See this burning season
glowing all around,
With tints of fallen yesterdays
a'pile upon the ground.
Grown cold from last remembered
Summer dies without a sound...

Show a hint of evening
sets a paler shade of light,
Slowly ever-fading into deepest night.
All golden, cool surrounding
and flush with crimson tides,
Swelled in full aroma
As fall alas now rides.

		<description>Memories fall toward the feet
of faded souls.
No words could explain
But your way
told it all...
How stark your silence crept
within the emptiness
of
each footstep.
How wide your reach,
Yet grasping nothing
While everything just fell
at your feet.
