A Dove Coo

· poetry

Jackhammer clangs and metallic slams

Concrete booms and I-beam whams

Fighter jets scrape their way up — up — up

Rotor blades beat a whup - whup - whup

Forklifts whizz and clink

I can’t hear myself think

Gleeful finches twitter and chirp

A distant peacock cries moww—, —moww

Three coyote yips

Two owl hoots

A dove coo

Silence
