I like silence.
But last night was very loud.
The silence was heavy. Dense.
I was quiet
But the walls said that my chest was rumbling.
Strangely I couldn’t hear it at all.

Are you guys writing for NaPoWriMo 2019?

Your poem is brilliant. It’s deep. The last 3 lines are beautiful!
By the way, there is no comment option on your blog and that is why I couldn’t comment on your post.

I recall spending a day and evening in as much silence as can be had in a city. That night, I went outside for some fresh air. I looked up, saw the moon, and had the distinct impression that I had just heard it ring like a china dinner plate dropped on a table cloth.
I quite liked the poem, Anupriya. I especially loved the mysterious imagery of the last two lines.
I’m wondering, though . Is the word “quite” a typo for “quiet”?

Well, that must have been a little bit of a surrealistic experience.
Thank you for the appreciation, Paul.
Oh dear! This is embarrassing. I didn’t notice the mistake. Sorry about that.

It was surprising. It wasn’t like I actually heard it though. I was right on the border between thinking I heard the moon ring and thinking I was imagining the moon rang.
I make typos all the time. Once I went through a poem three times. Thought I caught them all. But then a friend came along and spotted four more. LOL!
