When the Sound Ends
When the sound ends, nothing is required of you.
You do not need to notice how you feel.
You do not need to decide whether it worked.
You do not need to carry anything forward.
You may remain where you are.
You may move on to something else.
You may forget the sound entirely.

Sound Can Remain with What Is
Sound is often used to move us somewhere else.
Toward calm.
Toward clarity.
Toward a different state.
But sound does not need to create change in order to be supportive.
In this work, sound is allowed to remain with what is already here.
It does not pull the body forward or ask it to soften.
