silence

the hall empties out
a final door bang
swirling papers

the tired monk sits
waits
reads a few more lines
by the dimmed night lights

closes his books
waits
dwells in the rare
deep silence

    I can almost FEEL that "rare, deep silence." Beautiful, Ollie.

    Dwells...deep silence. Very nice. To me it conjures up a Monk in winter who contemplates more intensely as he is sheltered from coldness "...a final door bang...swirling papers..." Very good.
