“The thick silence
furnished the room
with textures and layers
of movement. Hushed
hums of the AC
turning on and off
again are paced in six
minute increments.
Muted conversations
on the TV screen
end with kisses
to fill the night.
Faint creaks from sturdy walls
and old floorboards
crawl through the
stillness. Rattles
from the ceiling fan
travel, spin,
and seep in
the thick silence,
furnishing the room;
and I thought, for a second,
I heard you.
