A Quiet That Deceives

 It’s hard to get used to quiet

When the city is your base,

To focus on the tiny sounds 

So easy to embrace -


The swishing of a wind sock’s tails, 

The rustling of leaves,

The chirping cadence of the birds,

A quiet that deceives.


For nowhere’s really silent,

But depending on your space,

The country’s noise is subtle

While the city’s in your face.
