Garden of Clamor

Gary Edward Geraci

Garden of Clamor

 

Over the din of a mechanical pump,

Fountains of jeweled streams erupt,

Cascading into an artificial bamboo base:

A handful of arterial hollows spaced.

 

Far away, the gear shifting of a motorized

Transmission whines from pushing a lower

Gear, straining before shifting one higher,

Intermingling: a garden of clamor.

 

Falling water, far away highway noise,

A roar of an aircraft overhead, rotors

Spinning, beat the air with a sudden

Ferocity that drowns out all else, an

 

All out assault of sound - yet, beholden,

Through it all, from a perfect perch on

Modern patio furniture, I contemplate

The still small ancient speech of Love within.

    Oohhh, so much noise sometimes. Me screeching (singing, that is) don't help towards peace and quiet! They says 'I should give it up if I were you, Orchi'. I don't listen to them, do I? heehee.

    Earplugs help............ I certainly know what you mean ..... introverts hear it more .....
