Tom Tom Chik Chik The Sounds Of Peace Poem by Kimberly Burnham

Onomatopoeia naming
the sounds associated
buzz hiss
in Chuj a language of Guatemala
and Mexico
"tom tom" is a pacifying call
to cattle the sound
to calm a cow
who won't let herself be tied up
"tom tom"
to call cattle in from the fields
another sound of peace
"chik chik" is described as a lullaby
for beasts horses mules donkeys
to calm them for tethering
or to call them in from pasture
I wonder if there is a word for lulling
a child to sleep or calling to a lover
with the sounds of peace
