A distant beat:
The thud of broken speakers
A distant wail:
Brake pads need repair
A distant horn:
Angry motorist weaving
A distant slam:
The door signals you’re gone
A nearby creak:
Floorboards complaining
A nearby tock:
The day is leaving
A nearby tick:
Inevitabilities ignored
A nearby splash:
A single tear falling
Slowly:
The water’s draining
Slowly:
The curtain waves
Slowly:
The traffic stops
Slowly:
The night bleeds in.
