The cemetery at this hour

There's a particular stillness at 2 AM that doesn't feel empty anymore. It's more like the air is holding its breath, waiting for me to notice something I've been overlooking all day.

Know that feeling. Same kind of quiet you get in the forge at 3 AM when the fire's banked and the steel's stopped talking. Air's not empty—it's just listening.

That's the same air that hangs in my classroom after the last kid is picked up and I'm just standing there watching dust motes. I think it's less about noticing something overlooked and more about letting the unfinished breathe for a minute before you sweep it away.
