It was quiet that night
The night of the storm.
The boom rattle slap of the windows was
Silent.

It was quiet that night
The night of the storm.
The dry heaves of panic were
Silent.

It was quiet that night
The night of the storm.
The tick of the clock seemed quite
Violent.

It was quiet that night
The night I was born.
I now sit, alone, helping
Clients.

It was quiet that night
The night of the storm.
The boom rattle slap of the windows was
Silent.
