I CAN HEAR NOW

the sound of a lenticular cloud balancing on the summit of Mt Rainier

the sound of mares’ tails in the sky the afternoon before the next day’s rain

the sound of mist rising from the lake

the sound of fog settling in the valley

the sound of sunlight dappling through the leaves

the sound of the moon waning and the sun rising in the early morning

the sound of a shooting star streaking across the night sky

the sound of sun peeking through the blinds in the morning

the sound of sunset over Elliott Bay

the sound of a sense of wonder revealed by nature

the sound of the fragrance of a flower

the sound of the anticipation of a piano being played

the sound of the ones and zeros of computer code that makes music

the sound of waiting for the shoe to drop

the sound of coronavirus settling on cardboard

the sound of anxiety deep in the throat
