the sounds of silence.

i like the little sounds. the sounds you can only hear when theyre the only sounds. breath, in and out. water being poured in a glass. the sound a book makes as it rubs against two other books when you take it off the shelf. oil sizzling in a pan. the scribbling sounds of my father's colored pencils as he works on his diary. teeth, crunching into an apple. the sounds of clothing, a sweater coming off, pants. kissing skin. feet rubbing together. a match striking, the first pull on a cigarette. a desk chair rolling on carpet. a finger scratching a head. knuckles cracking. putting the dishes back in the cabinet. a letter opening. pissing.

typing.
