Silent

Silent

It is a morning of silence,
when the hinges
of a swinging kitchen door
and the creaking of old oak floors
are all that is heard,
all that signifies life--
this movement
and stillness--
when these little sounds--
the chicks of daylight
who otherwise would be drowned
in a rush of banter--
are.
