Late winter dusk
Late winter dusk looming
Birds silent
Silence indeed
is the dominant sound
Except for my constant
tinnitus ringing buzzing
summer cicadas in either ear
In China's summer
I always hear their chirring
Yet despite the buzz
I still can hear well enough
to chat and teach and
Helen Keller was yesterday
Birds silent
Silence indeed
is the dominant sound
Except for my constant
tinnitus ringing buzzing
summer cicadas in either ear
In China's summer
I always hear their chirring
Yet despite the buzz
I still can hear well enough
to chat and teach and
Helen Keller was yesterday
