The last door had closed
Without asking to be heard
The stair held its breath
At the edge of every word
No guest in the hallway
No hand upon the rail
Only the house remembering
How silence learned to stay
The chairs kept their distance
Around the emptied room
A candle leaned lower
But did not leave perfume
The marble looked spotless
The letters stayed inside
The curtains made no movement
Where a softer lie had died
A key lay on the table
With nothing left to prove
The portraits on the landing
Did not need to move
No one called it victory
No one called it grace
The house knew how to end things
Without changing its face
After the House Went Still
Nothing asked to be forgiven
Every portrait kept its eyes
On what the room had hidden
No voice returned my name
No mercy crossed the sill
Only the final shape of grace
After the House Went Still
No glass had been shattered
No stain was on the floor
The wallpaper kept breathing
Like it had heard this before
The hinges cooled quietly
The frames stayed gold and straight
Every polished surface
Remembered how to wait
I stood where light had left me
With both hands calm and bare
Not waiting for an answer
Not needing one to care
You may keep the story
If it helps you leave the room
You may call it mercy
You may call it good
I will not correct you
I will not ask you why
Some endings stay more elegant
When no one says goodbye
I gave the truth a doorway
I gave the wound a chair
I gave the house its silence
And left you with it there
After the House Went Still
Nothing asked to be forgiven
Every portrait kept its eyes
On what the room had hidden
No voice returned my name
No mercy crossed the sill
Only the final shape of grace
After the House Went Still
After the House Went Still
No candle had to burn
Every locked-up secret
Knew where not to return
No hand reached out for mine
No shadow crossed the hill
The house became the answer
After the House Went Still
I left the final room
Before the morning came
The portraits kept their eyes
And nothing looked away

After the House Went Still
Miona Strake
『Portraits Never Blink』は、晩餐の余韻が消えた屋敷で、肖像画だけが真実を見つめ続けるエレガント・ダークポップアルバム、閉じた扉、戻らない手紙、廊下に残る香りが、誰かの嘘を静かに追い詰めていく、チェンバロ、室内楽ストリングス、冷たいシンセが、礼儀正しさの奥に潜む復讐心を静かに照らし、彼女は見られる存在から、すべてを見返す存在へ変わっていく
