sound bytes

in the darkness
it is the silence
i miss most
the evening air
opressive
bearing the weight
of eternal noise
overflowing with
sounds of civilization
engines growl
motors race
sirens howl
mournful trains
car alarms
televisions scream
radios hiss
doorbells ring
echoing
in the canyons
of my world
reminding me
how much
i miss
the silence found
on the road
in the middle
of nowhere
