what i hear

I hear the branch
etch
against the glass.
I hear
pins drop. I hear
the last
car arriving in the lot.
a door close.
a fox in the woods.
small drips of water
against the chrome drain.
I hear the light tap
of my pillow
as my hand pushes down.
the closing of a book.
a sigh.
a tear slide against
a weary cheek.
the light switch turned off.
I hear
what one rarely hears,
it's all that comes
into my ears.
