relativity

a crescendo
somewhere
far off

a cacophony
somewhere
closer

depending on
where you are
and where i
stand

never
muted
never
diluted

pure form
sublime
silken
soft
with
jagged edges

those sounds

your sounds

i hear
sometimes
from behind the walls

sometimes
from the universe
underground

sometimes
falling
from above
like stars
rain
hopes
dreams
wishes

certain words
flying
with wings

some
crawling
beneath
my skin

some sounds

those sounds

your sounds

come at me
sideways

crashing into me
before i can turn
spread my arms
and say
slow down

why this frenzy
you know you are
welcome

but those sounds

your sounds

can't hear

they raise
and rise
like a crescendo
cacophonic

somewhere
far off
somewhere
close

depending
on where
you are

and where
i stand
