Echoes From The Building: a poem about silence

This poem is for the ones who savour silence, and protect it as the most treasurable moments in their days.

Echoes from the building

Outside the front door

Of my apartment,

A noisy reminder

Of humans’ existence,

‘I’m not alone’

Is the sentence

Smashed between

Feet descending stairs

And people chatting

On the threshold
