Julie McElhone #18 Hush

I have clanging, booming sounds around

a dragon’s sigh, the wind’s high

kindness falling on my house while

sweeping far off furies mount

windows twitch for no account;

no amount of groaning air

rumbling train, tip tapping rain

can touch the silent part of me

where you are:sshhhhhh,

ssshhhhh stay there, there there.
