Amplification

by Abraar

The whispering of the tree broke

The silence within

A further nudge by the wind opened me

To a sound heavier than a pin

Dark settled calls rubbed my lids

Quick hazy noise turned me

Over and over the sheets

My ears felt softer at their tip and

Burdened at a drop of prickly hums

Flapping sounds beneath my skin

Roared the openings to pour-

Everything of that night kept me

From sleep

Blaring aches on head

Tumbling base to ground

So I remained held in the evenness of

Thoughts- as the morning looked ahead

And bothered about the night’s journey

All the long while- the mosquito’s poison

Spread wildly in turns-

Making a single tap heavier than a stone
