HEARING There is the sound and there is perception of the sound. What matters more-- that which happens or that which hardens into memory? Consider how the crush of a train is louder in fog, how a song becomes the place and time in which it’s heard, how the cries of babies are unbearable and the wind’s wail more fearsome than silence. Consider how the beloved’s breathing is distinguishable from all others, but how his footstep’s approach may as well be his footsteps receding.
