The Thundering Outside

The closest thing to silence
is the loudest thing in your ears.

Something that drowns out everything else

steadily,

gradually.

So i sit in the tub if im too tired
most times im able to stand
right beneath the shower head.

Let the water run down my body
Perhaps it cools me off
maybe it's silky texture

is distraction enough

but i know
that i am mostly 

looking for more noise
that isnt

the thundering outside.
