My Right Ear

That sound.
Like an almost dry glass,
being rubbed with your thumb
back and forth.

Like a dog's whimper,
when you taunt him
with that bone shaped cookie
he cannot reach.

Like wiping the droplets
of fresh fallen water
off the green leaves
that got out of the shower.

What sound is that?
Why is it here?
Oh I know.
I'm deaf in my ear.
