“The Sound That Slept Beneath the Floorboards”
— every creak brings back something we forgot to listen for
Sound was sleeping beneath the floor, gathered like breath.
With each creak, the sound returns to me.
👣
Beneath each step,
the floor remembers —
a nightingale’s creak,
a wooden lung
that will not sleep.
Chionin, Kyoto. "Uguisubari"
🐈
Behind the glass,
ferns unfurl
with inaudible sighs.
The cat waits,
its whiskers trembling
to the silence of soil.
Anne Duk Hee Jordan (2022)
🎺
Above it all,
angels hold their breath.
Trumpets painted,
wings exhaling pigment,
a music trapped
between brush and air.
Tintoretto "Il Paradiso" (1588)
🫁
Everywhere,
something breathes in waiting —
beneath, within, above.
The world
is a house of lungs.
