   Still Life

   There’s barely a breeze.
   The windmill is not moving,
   yet tree leaves flutter.
   All sound is muted,
   but a dog’s sharp bark
   pierces the quiet.
   Birds sing now and again.
   Jays argue in raspy voices.
   A couple of miles away,
   depending on which way
   the wind blows,
   the faintest hum of traffic,
   as it makes its way along
   Interstate 18.
   The backup beep of a
   of a construction vehicle
   breaks into the stillness.
   But in the quiet
   there is still life.
