silent gravity

I hear a noise that’s not a noise

it’s a sound

and it only exists inside my head.

 

It fills my thoughts and memories of the evening – the absence of silence, the way everyone wants to be close to someone – the endless movement of particles. I remember lights and smells so far away from each other, and time slowly loosing its structure. I could feel the angles of my body, its boundaries sharpening as the night went on.

 

There’s nothing in-between. Silence, or the absence of it.

I felt silence getting heavy, bothering my tired ears with its gravity.

I craved it, and it slipped away.
