Surround sound

I can hear my footsteps

as I walk through
a world of sound
made by men’s creations
and constructions

and nature
who fight every day
and night to remain
present

I can hear my footsteps

for they are my doing
my walking
my left behind prints
on these streets

only for seconds
tops
pursuing whatever
drives me forward

I can still hear my footsteps

over all the cars
and public transport
and cutting winds
fighting those skyscrapers

over people talking
and bicycles and mopeds
and pigeons and lovers kissing
and phones calling

I can still hear my footsteps

for they are mine
as a part of my nature
of me being human
as a part of nature

I can hear my footsteps

not as some machinery
at work but soft touch
on new grounds day in day out
when I actually listen

I can hear my footsteps

through all the noise
surrounding me
captivating me
when outside

I can hear

what is always there
as long as I
