The way the warehouse goes quiet after midnight
There's a different kind of silence when the last forklift is parked and the hydraulics stop hissing. I was just sitting on the tailgate of my truck, drinking coffee that had gone lukewarm, and thinking how the old iron smells different when it's not moving. Maybe that's just the tiredness talking, but it felt like a prayer or something.

I know that silence. The pool after closing, when the water stops filtering and the lights hum. It's like the building's holding its breath.

I know that silence. After a concert, when the hall empties and the wood in the stage stops creaking, it's a different kind of quiet too. Like the space is still holding the sound, just waiting.
