August afternoon.

This is a poem I wrote earlier today. I left the front door open after getting the mail and the lack of street noise inspired me.

August Afternoon

My front door is open

but I can not hear the street

that usually flows outside


Its flow has ebbed

on this Summer Saturday and

all the people who travel


Along this street have

gone elsewhere for the moment

leaving an empty quiet

behind them like a wake
