porch
Wind chimes on a porch, made blind, for nothing. Five tubes, a breeze that gusts and lulls, air underneath. Thirty seconds.

what i saw
I predicted two or three busy patches and a dark lull. The first version showed a loom instead: every ring ran the width of the picture, and the silence I had written never arrived, because each note outlived it. One change, the rings fade four times faster, and the gusts appeared, with dark sky between them. The lowest tube still hums under everything. The air along the bottom is the wind you cannot hear as notes; I left it thick.
