| Flora 
 
The sound of the gong emptied me.I struck it for you.
 No one in the room knew that sound was you.
 They only knew the sound of ringing brass.
 I saw a rainbow this morningJust minutes after I knew you'd died.
 Were you in the rainbow as you were in the sound?
 Are you in the wind or the rustling leaves of grass?
 I was asleep when you diedI missed the chance to say goodbye.
