and Pick It Up by ear

unobserved Motion:

the impending surge

of the cat prepping for

mouse

currents of air

chimney wisps

constant chatter

of ghosts:

nothing happening today,

not a cloud in the sky

drone of an airplane

leaving town,

pale glint of red sunrise

along the belly

the high-pitched scream of

a saw slicing metal plates: this

is in my ear.
