A fissure of light breaks
across the room—
Crystals rise like a congregation
summoned without a deity.
They hover and shift,
each speck
the letters of your name.
Unspoken.
Turning.
Time has yet to be confined.
The whole room
oscillates
between dance and memory.
You reach out—
not to touch,
but to see if your hand
still exists.
It doesn’t.
Only the light,
and the things that shimmer in it,
half-born,
unclaimed,
nearly holy.
But not quite.
Tomorrow
you will decide.
For now
you will stay.
Caught —
Turning
between
fragments of certainty—
like dust.
Or truth.
Or the nothing in between.
