quiet house
May 17, 2017
i grew up in a quiet house
with all the doors shut
i was quiet to begin with, but
the windows were shut too
in stratified silence, sometimes i could
see light trickling through the blinds
bird calls carried on the breeze
and if i leaned into the window
i could smell the green
