Booming Noise

Startled got up from bed
 a booming noise so near
 opened the door and fled
 rushed  out into the rear
 the sound followed me close.


 I ran to the front  patio
 the boom came behind
it was a terrible scenario
 I peeped through the blind
could see nothing amiss around.

I sat in my parlour
 shaking and shivering all through
the noise became louder
 I turned blue
I sneaked into the garden.


Lo! saw a concrete machine
busy mixing the mortar
the booming emanated from the machine
up went the mortar
a noise that struck

me still

The Dust Unfolds.

The construction goes on
 adjacent to my backyard
starts well at dawn
 workers on the yard
 bang goes the scaffolds
 whizz comes up the concrete
 the dust comes up in folds
clogs in the chest in discreet
 the noise pierces through
dissipates the morning dew
I toss in my bed with anger
I curse the stranger
 who is building his house nearby
Oh1 for no reason, I want to die.
