noisy

you're always noisy.

yes.

i think i am.

but in the moments when the sky turns the color
of indigo heaven
and the lavender hollyhock is in bloom by the road
and i am quiet for 0.000002 seconds

you will see
that i was not always noisy.
and i will not always be.

for ten minutes
when i was born
i was the quietest person on earth.

and i have spent my whole life
making up those ten minutes.

you're always noisy.

yes.
i am.

i lived.

and oh, i'm so glad i did.
