Parasite Sound
unwanted as in wilderness
undesirable as in shouting
uninvited as a bushfire
sound without the option
sound as in fury
passionate conviction
parasite sound for party
natters of the wind
the cool changes come
bring rain, fill rivers
hearing voices
listen to the waves
the muffled thrum
my own breathing too
autonomic, final
- Rob Schackne 2020
Born in New York, Rob lived in many countries until Australia finally took him in. He was a Foreign Expert EFL teacher in China for many years. He now lives in a small Victorian country town, and enjoys the fresh air, the birds and the sunshine. There were some extreme sports once; now he plays (mostly) respectable chess and pool. He listens to the Grateful Dead. When he's not writing, he likes taking photographs.
