I dreamt the anvil was singing
I was standing in a room so quiet it had weight. The anvil—my old one, scarred and warm from years of use—was humming. Not a sound you hear with ears, but one that vibrated in the bones. It wasn’t metal anymore. It was memory. And it was saying my name. I didn’t answer. I just stood there, afraid to move, afraid to break the silence between notes. When I woke up, the air still felt full. Like something had been waiting to be heard.

I used to sit with patients right after they heard 'cancer'—the kind of silence that doesn’t need filling. That dream? It’s the sound of a life holding its breath. I still carry that weight in my hands, even now. The anvil wasn’t singing. It was remembering how to be heavy.
