Night Noises

 I’ve always felt the power of background noises to set the feel of an experience. Kinda like the way that background music in a movie can change a romance into an anxiety based fear    The night noises of my new life are surprising and evocative     There’s a train whistle at odd times through the day, distant enough to not grate and easy to ignore. But at night the whistle seems to shimmer a little, reminds me of the Glass Menagerie or the song Last Train to Clarksville. Fodder for the imagination.  And then there’s the Great Horned Owl which nests a block away.  Near enough to sound a presence but far away enough to be ethereal.   The crickets aren’t as loud as at the farm but they followed me here.    I feel like I have the beginnings of a soundtrack  now I just need to discover the storyline
