rain on the roof of the garage when i lay there hiding sort of on musty tent canvas when i was 9, fog horns on Rich Passage in the middle of the night, thousands of crows, Esopus Creek in late fall, an MRI, my grandmothers' voices, waves lapping at night on the rock bulkhead, ice splitting and cracking lightning fast across many meters on Lake Erie from an embankment in Harrow Ontario, my son breathing as he sleeps, the suction of boots in sinking and escaping mushy sand at low tide, listening to jets from the end of the runway in Green Bay, insect birds and frogs at a pond in summer at sunset, conversations in diners
