the sound of things

we know

the sound of things.

a baby crying.

a door

closing, the stairs

under

the weight of our

shoes and legs.

we know the sound

of coffee being poured.

of opening

a letter.

of water dripping.

the bark of a dog.

wind in

the trees.

the crackle of a fire.

we know all these things

without seeing them.

our minds are full of

sound.

attached

with a memory, a day,

and into

tomorrow.
