"but we didn't care"

Isle of Dogs

On the Isle of Dogs we barked.
We had our say
from day till dark.

A chorus we were
of piebald hounds.
Our howling spiraled out

across the downs.
We howled at the redness of light,
bayed at the rising waters

and approaching night --
we lived on an island of sounds.
None listened, none heard,

the sounds were entirely ours
None listened, none heard
but we didn't care

as long as our howls
shaped the still air --
we lived on the Isle of Sounds.
