Across Ivory Heartbeats

Across ivory heartbeats and
under shallow breaths
fall impressions on silence.

The panes record their contours,
a lingering transience. Odd,
the opacity here, unintended,
unwilled. Outside, the strewn
references of change-visible,
audible, suggestive.

And immutable, despite the
fury's sword.
