Projector

She opens her hand in the focused light,
fashions a long necked swan, then a gull

flying into a moon that has scattered
itself to pieces on the water, gives a voice

to the night that rings like a delicate hammer
touching the rounded, yellow metal of a bell.

The wind drowns out the music as eyes
return to the pale screen where just the curl

of her fingers twist the night time shadows
into these unspoken stories.
