I can hear
the music
the ant makes
as it drags
a crumb
of birthday cake
across the piano keys

before I see
the rainbow,
I hear
the sunlight
dividing
in a prism
of wet air

I hear
snow
hit the earth,
leaves
kissing trees
goodbye,
bubbles
bursting,
bread
rising

I have greased
the squeaky axle
of the spinning earth
that kept me
awake
at night

but above it all
I hear
empty
wooden
bowls
in the hands
of dead children
cracking
in the heat
of new deserts

I also hear the music and noise and squeaking.  However, I never thought about writing a poem so that others might hear.  

I enjoyed this one.
