A Notebook – Since 2007
What do we hear
when we are hard
on hearing
sounds far and near
sharp metallic birds
hummingly trill
the sorrow of the song
sparrow’s syllables
feed me
and chick-a-dee-dee
quaver and buzz
flute whistles
nautical vibrations
ding dongs
and foggy toots
warnings and come-ons
calls for help
turn-ons and turn-offs.
