My house is silent
as the world inside
a shell.
My sisters are sleeping,
my mother is off working,
my brother is somewhere else,
and I am here in the rocking chair,
typing.
Shhhh, listen.
The house makes noises.
I hear,
the fridge,
the computer,
the lamp,
the walls crack
intermittently.
Silence is not
as it seems.
Perhaps silence
is merely lack
of voices.
Perhaps quiet
is not lack of sound,
but lack of motion
that makes sound.
In this case,
my house is still,
quiet, and silent.
But if you listen,
and there is always
something to hear.
House Noises
