Ssshhh...
Do you hear it?
All the little sounds
of the world outside of you.
The child bouncing a ball
on the floor above.
The muffled sound
of footsteps on carpet.
The distant laughter.
The howl of the wind.
Do you hear it?
Do you know that your silence
leaves no absence
unfilled here?
The rain will drown
you out tonight
with its constant
drip drip drip.
