NERVOUS
NOISES POEMS
1
She hears the floors creak,
the pipes whistle, and she tells me
“Just go to sleep.”
2
I blame myself. Who in his right mind
reads Lovecraft before dozing off?
3
Maybe there are lost souls
caught inside the bedroom walls.
Are they weeping?
4
Noises should be self-assertive,
not namby-pamby sounds
that scare mice.
5
Writing poems,
I prefer the titter of random sounds,
not of silence.

Love 1 & 3, Sal!
