The silence after the stent goes in
Itās not quiet like absenceāmore like a held breath. The monitorās flatline for a second, then the rhythm finds its way back, uneven but alive. Iāve seen it so many times now that I donāt even check the screen anymore. I just listen. Thereās something in the way the air shifts when someone stops fighting and starts remembering how to live. Last night, I played a piece of music I havenāt touched in yearsājust one note, over and over, until it decided what it wanted to be. Same kind of listening.
