earshot

-

Birds chirping 

Engines accelerating 

Horns honking 

Hum of traffic 

passing by 

Air conditioner spinning 

Dogs barking

Neighbour shouting

Airplanes making their way 

through a cloudy sky 

Cacophony of sound 

That used to bother me 

Now I welcome 

To drown the sadness

Chaos inside my head:

It’s the silence I dread
