Poetry: Love’s Noise by Rizwan Akhtar
Love’s Noise
The riveting sound of a grass aerator
spills over the dark passage hypnotic
after a chair squeaked through wind
outside the man bent frantically levels
the weeded patches some are too thick
like moments cast by random reaching
unaware that interceptions are natural
a woodpecker knocked and afterwards
the phone burred craving hands and mouth
the topsoil with the sub-soil like fragments
stripped hanging along squelching lumps
the machine pierced its teeth into the turf
guzzled spitting shreds all over the place
how much I miss you with that noise.
