Roosters crowing
Goats bleating
Cassava being pounded in mortar and pestle
Children babbling in play
Hoes being hammered back into shape
Mothers yelling for children to come
Scuffs of plastic slippers on sandy soils
Bees droning
Flies buzzing
Doves cooing
Pans and pots being scrubbed with dirt
Conversations drifting through the air
Children wailing
Mothers harangueing children
Young men belting the moment’s popular song
Motorcycles whirring through the bush
A slaughtered goat screaming
A radio blaring gospel music
Brooms swooshing across dirt
Wind bristling through the trees
A passing choir singing hymns
The rumble of a truck, far-off
People greeting each other, always

P.S. My notes and catharsis about life have been taking list forms lately
