A funny noise
A funny smell
Is it here?
No, we are safe
High on our hill
A funny smell
Is it here?
No, we are safe
High on our hill
Go to bed
Must sleep
Must sleep
Can’t sleep
All those houses
All those people
So close
So near
A car door
Fire Department
Time to go
No, a neighbor
Hauling his dumpster to the street
(It’s midnight, man – are you crazy?)
(Maybe just back from sandbags. Good man, good man.)
Okay.
Go to sleep.
Go to sleep.
Not working.
So quiet.
Strain my ears – can I hear the raging, the overtaking?
Lapping my street?
Lapping my thoughts?
Lapping…….
Lapping…
Time to let go.
