I Hear

When I think of home.

I hear 

my siblings fighting over clothes for no reason.

I hear my mum say “Come down to clean the house.”

My older sister saying, we are going to the shops.

I hear my dad playing basketball with my siblings.

My brother is laughing because he is watching a funny video.

I hear people playing loud music at their house.

I hear people banging on other people's doors.

I hear my mum saying it's time to go sleep for school.

And there in the quiet living room

As if it had never stopped 

But only needed listening to

My grandpa snores so loud that the house shakes like an earthquake.
