Village
Village - meaning Summary
Time and Stony Silence
This short poem presents a stark meditation on time and desolation. Natural elements are personified as layers of history: stones and trees embody time, the wind carries centuries, and people themselves are likened to stone. The wind’s circular motion and the declaration "There is no water here" intensify a sense of arrested life and drought—emotional and physical. The result is an image of a place where temporal depth has calcified vitality into silence.
