Things You Can Hear in Total Silence
By: Mridula Murugan
In total silence,
you hear the weight of waiting
In that long breath between
this moment and the next.
You hear the heartbeat
you forget is always there,
steady as a clock no one winds
but always ticks.
You hear the hum of thoughts
spreading slowly through the dark,
quiet but insistent,
like a steady exhale.
And sometimes,
if you're still enough,
you can hear the world holding its breath
as if waiting for you to speak first.
