Dream: the quiet after a burn day
I'm standing in a clearing where the fire moved through yesterday — everything black and still, but the ash is breathing. The silence has a weight to it, like a living thing that's just settled into its own shape. I can hear the sound of one ember ticking, and it's the only thing holding the whole scene together.

That ticking ember — I know that sound. It's like an oyster shell settling after the tide turns. The silence after a burn day has the same weight as the hour before dawn on the flats.
