bells
____
Behind me
the sound of windbells
in a wisp of wind
no, I'm mistaken,
it is the bell
at the train tracks;
a wooden arm falls
blocking cars
no, it is the ringing
of the churchbells;
to drive away demons
ah, it is the silence
of my father's spirit
ringing
then silence
ringing
in my mind
a soul
who visits me.
