The Sudden Weight of Silence

The thunder dissolves, a scarlet cry
that tears the sky, then swallows all sound.
The fury fades, a contracted flash,
and leaves a void where the roar was found.

It is not slow absence, a simple vacuum,
but a dark entity that settles down at once.
A sudden weight, a motionless gravum,
that wraps all things without a single ounce of chance.

It holds the gravity of stone just lifted,
a deaf shadow that retains every sound.
Each fiber hears its veiled shape gifted,
in the dense space where it expands and swoons profound.
