Shears cut hedges
bristles sweep tarmac
cuttings comply
empty dust bins returned to driveways
wind rustling through autumn trees
a helicopter
dogs
crows
seagulls
an old grumbly diesel engine
horses in paddocks
the slap of trainers on concrete
the sound of effort
the drip of sweat from a head-band
the stretch of lycra - relenting
the chime of an ice-cream van
its engine left running
children with money burning holes
the silence of a carpark
a train pulling into the station
voices
doors
whistle
a train
the barriers
the cars
...left with the sound of silence
