Collection of Sounds 

 

A truck roars boisterously over a bridge  

Blasts of autumn air blows straight across the house  

A pack of seagulls' squeal across a Pacific Ridge 

Kettle of hot water whistles on a stovetop 

The refrigerator clicks and ticks and gurgles 

Bedroom telephone upstairs ring, left unanswered, never stops 

An ambulance siren echoes far in the distance 

Satie’s Gymnopedie No. 1 floats softly from next door 

My cat lazily murmurs comfortably in a chair, omniscience 

Group of children returning home on their bicycles 

Breaths out from riding, full of life 

I want to find my own sound before the new day signals
