Psyche delivers an extended spoken word performance exploring silence as a source of power and clarity, contrasting authentic presence with performative certainty and borrowed authority.
They misread the silence. Thought it meant I was gone. Mistook steady breathing for a break in the song. While they filled up the room with the sound of themselves,
I was mapping the current beneath all the swell. You were talking in circles. I was tracking the line. You were racing for presents. I was already inside.
Every shift, every glance, every crack in the tone, I was hearing the truth in the things left alone. You thought louder meant stronger. You thought fast meant control.
