LISTENING

'without earplugs'

deaf was the river
could not hear but it listened
the thirst was speechless

when the clouds thunder
when a wilderness whispers
what are they saying ..

dulcet dialogues
tenor,bass or soprano
how did the birds know

a jury listens
the verdict pre- determined
ex-parte hearings ..

[law~ex-parte:-when the accused is absent]
