I am from muffled nights
white noise air
the comfort of an embrace

I am from two sounds
a swirl of words
incomprehensible
and sane

I am from echoing corridors
reverberating happiness
laughs slipping under doors
dreading goodbyes

I am from scribbles
scratches
splashes
splotching
and seeping ink
Intake of figures
shapes edges and all

I am from sound
plunks of piano keys
scratching violin
rippling guitar
bright ukulele

I am from awake
at times
peace
other times unknown
All times
dark

I am from arriving
an absence of belonging
adjusting
leaving
and repeating

I am from blurred scenery
disappearing roads
streaking trees
a setting sun

I am from cities
towns
cars
and the reprise
of more muffled
entrancing
nights
