Sounds arounds

 


A squeal, kids in the park

A squeak, chitter-chatter, Bulbuls in the hedge

The drone of a faraway ferry (Kai-to)

A drone above, looking down

Mosquito-loud (or louder)

Coo-coo of Doves in the Banyan

Or maybe the Bauhinia

Which lost all their 🌸 

In typhoon Rai which still swirls around us

As a “tropical depression”

Which I sometimes suffer…

But lifted by:

Water falling down slime-stone walls 

of the koi-carp pond.

And I wonder:

Do they think it’s “theirs”?
