Description
your voice sounds like
jittering adrenaline
the whirring of construction across the street
the bright blue of the ocean
when seen only briefly
in dancing light

your voice sounds like three old men
arguing the same argument for the seven-hundred and thirty-first time
the twacking of a head of lettuce
against a brand-new counter-top
the core falling out
the reasonable silence after a storm
a bike kicking up a dusty road
emaciated children clutching a ball
a hat being turned backwards

your voice sounds like
the undoing of a marriage
a dying weed, the brief period of respite
between tantrums, the sizzling
of an excellent steak
a rubberband around a wrist
drunken men singing loudly in an alley
the formation of asteroids
the movement of the curtains
as the wind blew through me
or perhaps the wind itself
