Low Frequency

The glass of water

on the counter, it shakes.

A low thrum, deep.

My jaw aches.


Not a tune, no.

Just a beat, a heavy, dull sound.

Through the floor, through the walls,

it can be found.


The ice in my drink

clinks with the bass.

A rhythm not mine,

invading my space.


I trace the rim.

The water's surface, a skin

that trembles, never smooth,

from within.
