midnight

there is no silence
a
train in the distance
the occasional clack
of the dryer in the next room
closer...
 the train roars closer
a vibration of power in motion
unstoppable momentum
passing so quickly
the sound doesn't fade
it ceases
suddenly
leaving stillness
even the dryer has stopped
only the clock ticks
only the clock ticks
clock tick
clock tick
tick
tick
another train coming
this one sounds
the approach
sounds
sounds
taking the sound
to a destination
unknown to me
no silence
tick
tick
tick
