the natural noises are the ones unplanned -
the sharpening of a note, the flick of a cigarette,
or even your voice on the phone that night.

we sing these songs that have no meanings,
creating something out of nothing.

the natural noises is the silence that awkwardly creeps up on us
the humming of cars with places to be,
stuck still i watch with my ears

my eyes are failing me,
and the lens broke, too.

the natural noises were the words we chose to use
when no one else was watching.
when time was frozen, and we looked outside in.

nature's noise is Your voice and the deep, long silence that follows after.



lovin's for fools.



bon iver and bowerbirds.
