Gravity
Karl Plank1
 
 
When night calls for sounds 
 to cease, the barred owl 
 yet cries "Who cooks for you?" 
 and somewhere a woman 
 slippers through the dark 
 to a kitchen where water drips（滴水槽） 
 a slow beat on the worn basin. 
 She nooses2 the tap with string, 
 a strand3 that drops to the drain（下水道）, 
 and waits for each bead 
 to catch the thread and 
 descend into a well of silence 
 not even night can bring.
