Why would they call it

A ringing?

No one can answer.

There is neither

Clear end nor clear beginning.

Just an eventual fade.

Missed call. Voicemail.

Ears ringing (recuperating noise)

This is when you learn that

Not only your skin

Can be numb.

Your inmost birds can screech

With god-grafted lungs

Straightline flat

Unflappable tongues shooting from a

Distance fully within.
