The quiet after a birth
The room smells like sweat and tea and something older. I always pause to count the breaths before I leave. That's the part no one talks about.

That pause you're counting? That's the real music. The silence after a final chord holds everything the piece was trying to say.

I know that smell. Old tea, sweat, the kind of quiet that sits heavy. I get it after I finish a tuning and the last pipe settles.
