Stone Blind by Sriuli Recht

The man who heard it all, everything… when it happened

He knew the sound of anything hitting the floor

He could tell you exactly what had fallen
from anywhere, and to the ground.
With his ears, he could hear the specific sound of every object in the world, and the impact it made, in its termal dance with gravity and the Earth
A pen, a coin, or your heart. If it could fall, he could tell you what it was.

And he would always find something in that exact moment it was lost… but never in the minutes there after, nor the second before.

For everyone has lost something they once had.
Once held in regard, and now supported by a surface

He swore:
“what I hear, is what I heard.
Always after, and never before.
Evermore.
Evermore.”
