~Sans Solitude~

~Sans Solitude~
~Sans Solitude~

I have grown so used to their voices, I find myself startled by silence whose true voice I have always
learned never to ignore. I don’t know what they’re saying but the tone of their laughter visits my ears ecstatic and warm, a good song sung. In these moments together, when the silence I seek is expelled, I have time to wander alone and wonder if silence is a greed for spaces. I have grown so used to their voices, they fill the still air around me. I ignore my hunger for silence and speculate: are they real, the voices, or an indication of loneliness, a dependence upon memory, an inclination toward the down.
