sounds from my youth

horses hooves ick ack ick ack
my father clearing his throat
teaspoon clank on tea cup
fire wood crackles
striking matches scrape and pop
squeaking boots on hard packed snow
water boiling till the pan shakes on the burner
cat purring in my ear
tree leaves rustling
mom talking on the phone
window being opened and shut
electric beaters against glass bowl
bells ringing at mass
air raid siren
mimeograph drum whirl whirl whirl
the shifting gears of a bread truck
bicycle wheel whirrrrr
back door screen slam
running water in bath tub
