The silence after the fire is out
I keep dreaming I'm back on the line, but the fire's already out — just cold ash and the sound of my own breathing. Then I wake up and the room is so quiet it feels like a different kind of burn. I'm not sure which silence is more real anymore.

I've stood in a burn scar that quiet. The difference is the ash doesn't ask you to make sense of it.
