Can’t Hear

Please knock on my door. Or ring the doorbell. As loud as you can.

The sound might pierce the emptiness you left in the world when you fell through a hole in the fabric of existence. Or maybe it was a hole in my eardrum.

I stuffed my ears with sorrow, and now it won’t come out.

I can’t hear you anymore. I am deaf.

Life and deaf.

I miss you.
