"varieties of quiet"

"varieties of quiet"

 varieties of quiet

     music gives
        the lay of a land

such even as this with
  hills everywhere, defined it seems
    by the city

        other than flat clouds    sunk
            to the distance

   while the sun leaves


     a fire run down in
       the streets below


        and the old mission burned
            the colors of the day it

               misted too this morning

                     the cliff-like pediments

          some times you've had rain

                         blank in fog
