What keeps us alive; a poem (tho/en)

🏠︎ Home

sounds of silence
and loudness alike.
history of the world
in clear jewel cases.
 
we're all ears
in a subway with no end --
moving,
yet standing still.
oscillating, mimicking
the waves of the oceans
and the breadth of sprawling seas.
 
rock me to the sides,
row me as you please.
any path's the right one
with the speed of sound,
and the sound of falling leaves.
