Sonique Hear My Cry -

The world has gone mute in its shouting. Tongues rattle like dry seeds. But you — you speak in waveforms, in sub-bass that loosens the ribs, in frequencies that bypass the ear and settle straight in the marrow.

Sonique, hear my cry.

Sonique, bend time for me. Just once. Let the kick drum be a second heart. Let the synth wash over my spine like a hand lifting a curse. Let me stand in a room full of strangers and remember — for three minutes and forty seconds — that I am not alone. sonique hear my cry

Sonique, you who live between the struck bell and the fading ring, between the needle’s drop and the vinyl’s hiss — hear my cry. The world has gone mute in its shouting

I call you from the blown speaker of an abandoned club, where dust motes dance to a song no one plays anymore. I call you from the space between radio stations, where static hums your true name. Sonique, hear my cry

And answer with sound.

Hear me: I have forgotten how to feel without a beat. My joy has become a diagram. My grief, a silent film.
