Background Noise
If this were two days past Independence
Day, I would worry differently.
These winds,
ripping branches from their silence,
grabbing at the ankles of doors, screens
flapping. But the leaves left
two months ago, a super blood wolf
moon passed just before midnight,
and no dog stays to woo the Welcome mat.
