Reminder to add jelly to the grocery list
When I woke up this morning, I wasn’t aware that I first heard silence, before I heard, upstairs in the kitchen, the knife clanging around inside the almost-empty jelly jar.
But even as the clang-clang-clang came down the stairs and reverberated in my room, I could still hear the silence, somehow. Like it was filling in the space around the sound.
