EMMA

EMMA

Emma called it a wind chime.

"See?" she said and showed us

a bunch of gnarled twigs knotted

together

with bits of discarded yarn

and bottle caps

stolen from the rubbish.

She perched near the top of a swaying tree.

"See?" she said, hanging it there.

Then teetered Emma in its branches and chirped,

"See?" she said pointing to her object d’art

just before she toppled down to earth.

Her chimes became the

scratching song

of things invisible.

All that is required is the wind and a constellation of objects. The sound produced may not be a chime, but even a whisper is music. Continue to make wind chimes Emma, but be wary of gravity.
