The Song I Can Hear

Under the sounds
of the electric fan
and the traffic, the television
and the click of this keyboard,

there is a voice smooth as cedar flute
expertly played,
simple and utterly present
in this room full of noise;

I could turn off everything
and listen more closely,

but I know
there is no song
except that drawn
from out of chaos.
