Breath too small to take up space. Something shifts a millimeter inside, names it film along the skin. You arrive as bare pull in the folds. You arrive as weight without a hand. You arrive as stillness gaining mass, soft snag in the low tone. II. FIRST CHAMBER A line in the skin yields - quietly. Not wound. A joint that learned to part. I step in without a shift, low sound leans on new walls. Old tones don't loop - they come back skewed. Names I skipped saying. You arrive as line that parts - it yields. You arrive as space inside space, hollow holding old press. And I don't claim it mine. III. ROUNDING Edges soften slow. No grace - just friction at work. Droplets tap pattern in me: etch / hold etch / hold etch / hold etch / hold I grip old spans - they wear thin. Edge opens to passage. You become rounding of the cut. You become overlap of spaces. You become wear on bare skin. You become skew I won't square, still I hold the lean. Spaces inside now disagree on my end. One bears tremor, one bears close press, one bears tone I called apart. I pace the passage my hearing shaped. Each stop a note left mid. IV. CHOIR OF SPACES Spaces lean into each other - not words, in the tail of sound. You become carry-line room to space. You become blend no center holds. You become second tone under mine, long sound that won't end. You become the carry, carry, carry - walls take the lean. V. REFUSAL TO SEAL Part of me pulls to mend - old pull. Hand not there smoothing the fold to shut. I let it drop. Let the line stay parted, like breath that learned to hold. No mend on edges. No closures back on spaces. You leave as shape that shifts slow. You leave as press I won't tag. You leave as press caught under the edge, not show - weight the air. VI. UNFINISHED CARRY Pulse grips - Pulse grips Pulse grips - Pulse grips Pulse grips - Pulse grips Not even - alive with small skews. Low tone that learned to bear. Tones settle, no-mix. Recall won't stack - turns in place. Hear till hearing's sole edge holds, then holds, then holds. You leave as carry-line that grips. Note: The Wanderer no longer approaches the unknown. It leans toward him. Not as signal. Not as map. As pressure. As carry. The cracks he once observed in distant ice now run through what he feels as his own skin. He does not name what moves through them. He does not close the line. He continues — listening, holding, letting the spaces shift — until the difference between what he hears and what he is can no longer be kept apart.
