Amazed the birds can hear themselves over the traffic
That we can hear ourselves think and one another speak
That this vegetation thrives despite the din
Taking it all in, making oxygen
All quivers in the sudden wind
Birdsong abruptly silences
I snap one last shot
Hurry home
Heartbeat quickened
Helplessly happy
wow. i forget how different city noise is from country noise.
ReplyDeletewhew... agreed. that is quite an uproar. I'm somewhere between you and Velma when it comes to noise... leaf blowers are a big, big pain in the ass around here
