the beep of a parked car
the smell of reheated leftovers
the clack of painted nails on a phone screen

the clicks of a mechanical keyboard
the whir of the kitchen fan at midnight
the swish of a water jug

the warmth of the burning oven
the bubble of boiling tea
the sweetness of fresh spice cake

the smell of a warm sewing machine
the hiss of the pressure cooker
the shuffling of fabrics on the dining room table

the jingling of keys coming up the stairs
the clink of cat food cans
the rumble of afternoon snores

the shimmer of silverware cleared off the table
the rush of a flowing kitchen sink
the low buzz of the television
