SHUSH


we leave the city looking
for silence
but the hum grows louder
step-wise, sideways, in intervals.
I have played music but this
is different.
everything is alive and trying to sing.
five thousand feet
from sea level and countless miles
we’ve come looking.
torn between calling out
to announce our arrival
and slinking in on soft feet
to see what happens
when we’re not expected.
