January 22, 2014 - 1450

Did You Hear That?

Tick tick tick
The sound of the clock in the room
A monotonous droning
The whoosh of the watered air

Click click click
Keys on the keyboard
The gentle sound of fan blades
Easy breathing through a long, white-furred nose

Drip drip drip
As ice melts in the door
Rustling leaves on the side of the house
Blowing in the wintry breeze

Skip skip skip
Neighborhood kids playing on the sidewalk
Crunching frosty bits under boots
Cheeks and chins wind burnt and happy

Thump thump thump
My heart in my breast in the silence
Steady and calm as words finally return
To a page too long empty
