lyrics

Night Listening

All through the course of a summer night,
from my house on a slope in a western city,
I listen. Trains couple in the freight yards,
airplanes drone above. Traffic never ceases.
Sprinklers hiss, greening minuscule lawns.
And there's a certain undercurrent, a mix
of crickets, air conditioning, breezes,
night shifts at factories, commercial bakers
mixing their ingredients, lovers exhaling,
birds rustling slightly on their perches,
a page or two turned in midnight books,
sheets falling to the floor, and the blood
near my ear canals circulating home.
