Night Sounds

 

Between intervals of sleep

rain taps like fingers
on the roof,

 

                                                                          the wind abruptly shakes the trees

                                                                                    leaving quietly …
                                                                                    before returning.

                                                                           In the meantime a kitten under the blankets

                                                                                     snuggles against my chest, warm,
                                                                                     purring loudly.
