Threshold Hum
between the hush and the cry we lean into what we can’t quite tell to the same a door ajar, no key in sight a sigh half-swallowed in the throat grief is hope with no shame we neither stay nor fully stray our shadows dance without a shell and laugh, as if the blur was to blame Tesla 3-6-9...
