Audible

 Audible

Thin sheets of metal 

Linger together

Then sway apart

Roars from Northeast,

Diné Nation

Three sharp vibrations,

Repeat below my feet.

Midnight cricket,

Eludes the bright morning sun,

Underneath dusty floorboards.

Sitting on this long, yellow porch.

My knees tuck in.

Fingernail-sized ant scaling the rim of my coffee cup,

My lips pursed together, 

Poof! 

Into thin, crisp air.

Whirly gusts slip through Juniper branches,

A hatch somewhere creaks open,

A bit wider.

It's soon time to crunch grass, 

Investigate iron tracks.

Breath in and ease into,

Free, open 

Space,

Time,

 

Waste as we wish.

Constraints,

Ours for making.
