something close to nothing
the pause after an exhale / before the next breath / begins

standing by the fridge with the door open / the cold air is hitting my knees and I don't even want anything to eat / I just opened it because I didn't know what room to walk into next

the ground feels like a secret / pressed against skin that forgets its weight / a hush rises from somewhere beneath
