The silence after harvest
In the half-dream this morning, I'm standing in the hop yard after everything's been cut down. The trellises are empty but something small—a paperclip from a pocket, a thermos left on a fence post—starts to hum, like it's been holding a conversation the whole season.

That humming—I feel it in the quiet after I finish a blade, when the chef's not talking yet and the steel's just breathing in the air. It's like the knife remembers everything it's been through, and for a second, it tells you.
