WINDCHIME

 

 

 

WINDCHIME

 

 

I BOUGHT MY SELF A WINDCHIME

I HAD CHRISTMAS MONEY

I SPLURGED

BOUGHT MYSELF A WINDCHIME

 

MY CHILDREN ARE SNICKERING

SAYING

I WONDER HOW MANY MOTHS ESCAPED

WHEN HE CRACKED OPEN HIS WALLET

SOME SAID PRY OPEN

 

CHIMES HAVE A LONG HISTORY

THEY’VE BEEN USED

TO KEEP BIRDS OUT OF FIELDS

TO PROTECT SACRED PLACES FROM DEMONS

AS A MECHANICAL PRAYER

 

I ENJOY THEM FOR THE BELL SOUNDS

AND MORE

THE SATORI EFFECT

 

THE UNEXPECTED SOUND

BROUGHT ON BY WIND’S VAGARIES

JOLTS THE MIND

LETS NEWNESS IN

 

A PROBLEM THOUGH

IT HASN’T RUNG

SINCE I BROUGHT IT HOME

 

I WONDER

IF I SHOULD PUT IT OUTSIDE

I DIDN’T WANT TO GET IT WET
