Kevin Bezner

 
 
A ballad
naturally

sad

the knowing voice
of the singer

a few

words that hold

still before
falling

the voice the
words

clinging to
air

the wind
outside moving

branches

one white petal not
miraculous dozens

falling from
somewhere it

seemingly
can't

maybe only
a leaf reflecting the

white light through
clouds
