Sound and Stillness

Wind scrapes dry trees

of their brown leaves

outside

While my lounging body,

relaxes in blotchy lines,

of sunlight

Children scream and chirp

over muffled rock music

outside

While my warm body,

gently simmers in its,

own skin

Sirens wail past people

walking faster than their heads

outside

While my ageing body,

ponders nothing of importance,

in it's moment of respite.
