Fw: [PerceptionsOfLife] What The Dog Perhaps Hears

What The Dog Perhaps Hears

If an inaudible whistleblown between our lipscan send him home to

us,then silence is perhapsthe sound of spiders breathingand roots

mining the earth;it may be asparagus heaving,headfirst, into the

lightand the long brown soundof cracked cups, when it happens.We

would like to ask the dogif there is a continuous whirrbecause the

child in the housekeeps growing, if the snakereally stretches full

lengthwithout a click and the sunbreaks through clouds withouta

decibal of effort;whether in autumn, when the treesdry up their

wells, there isn't a shuddertoo high for us to hear.What is it like

up thereabove the shut-off levelof our simple ears?For us there was

no birth-cry,the newborn bird is suddenly here,the egg broken, the

nest alive,and we heard nothing when the world changed. -Lisel
