Some people say noise hurts their head
Some people say they wish they were dead
all because it’s oh so loud
but I am absolutely wowed
for I cannot hear a thing
not a single jingle or a ring
I cannot think of the
cause of it
maybe because I am
deaf
In a dream
flying over
a black sea
dark and cold
arctic cold
Fast, in sync
birds in flight
knowing when to turn
speed up, slow down
together
Passing over seals
shining
switching sides
striped dolphins
close enough to touch
Beluga whales
gibbous moons
in all their majesty
and I hear him
whispering
Mommy, did you see that?
Aren’t they amazing?
voiceless now
awake
cold
