Loudly
the putter of rain
changed the atmosphere
both inside and out
Loudly
the din of rain
made me move
rushing outside to the lines
Loudly
he shouted to remind me
of the laundry hanging outside
soaking the large drops of tropical rain
Loudly
I yelled back to confirm
I was on my way
to the backyard, basket in hand
Quietly
I sang to myself whilst
plucking the pegs hurriedly
off the bedsheets and pillow cases.
