Night sounds
The hum of the refrigerator
clickety-click of the keyboard
The misplaced notes of a piano
A distant bark, and then another
A knock– far away
Muffled slamming of a door
Padded footsteps
A whirr of a truck driving past
Carried within the wave of time
Sounds of the moment
Perceived in the limited
Circle of light
Of this lamp
in the living room
Hushed sounds of the night
Withheld, whispered
sometimes whimpered
Complete silence eludes
Night, unlike day,
goes on
A show behind the curtains.
