Do you hear that?
The sound of drops falling from the sky
The mess of mud tracks left on the house
The squeaks of a hungry mouse
Left in the walls where wires are exposed
And bits of painted cement cluttered the ground
The sound of a family building their home
Or do you hear the scrabing of mud on a comb
The showering of debris on the dome
Where that same family sheds more than tears
For their damaged home
Where the child is left to wonder
Is this their worst fear
That fear
A human reaction to danger
A storm brewing within to anger
The silence filler to that cliffhanger
She must climb out
Reunite and go on about
Living here life and not staying on
The past
The past where she heard that sound
A noise that changed her family
Her self and sense
Of time and peace
