Sound Journal #1

The landscapers are mowing the small patch of grass outside of my window just in front of the sidewalk.

The hum fades in and out as the mower gets closer and farther away from my window.

                                                         The ceiling fan cuts through the air

                                           And occasionally catches, clicking lightly.

Caitlin’s hair ruffles the pillow next me

My own hair returns the sound in kind

As I turn my head to follow the sound

                My cat knows that I’m awake

                                Can she hear my breathing change?

                                        She’s meowing in the office calling for food and attention

The sheets rustle as I fold them back to feed her
