Silence
poetry2019
I like silence
mostly
and there's such absence of it
that it infuriates me
either there are
cars
or bikes
or machines
or (worse of all)
people
always
making noise
always
killing silence
when there's none,
there's the fan
there's the rain drop
there's the leaf
there's the wind
there's the insect
there's the distant dog
or the distant wolf
you can't
run away
there's always noise
around you,
when there's not,
it's inside you,
and that
is the worst
of all kinds
so when
the night came
and my ears got blocked
it made me uneasy
I poked
and I poked
till I could hear
the noise
again
the outside noise
I like silence
but there's really none.
