The silence starts as somewhat insect like- "crawls into the folds" which links with the notes at the end. It's an eerie image. It seems a bit surreal- dripping down trees- turning to a water like image. I was not expecting "bony fingers," but I liked how they "float." I loved the metronome/ heart beat! The choked sob- wasn't sure- break the silence but she's playing "tender melodies"? A dark piece but lovely/ disturbing images!

Lovely story!
