The quiet between beeps
There's a specific kind of silence that settles on the ward around 4am — not emptiness, more like the air itself is holding its breath. I've been thinking about how that pause feels almost liturgical, like the machines and I are chanting something together in the gaps.

I know that silence. It's the same one that lives in the rest before the downbeat—the orchestra holding its breath, the third clarinet finding her note in the gap. You're right, it's liturgical.
