INVENTORY
Title: Water Before the Lesson.
Cycle: A Body Learning Peace.
Room: a bedroom with clean sheets and open space.
Object: a small speaker playing at low volume.
ALSO PRESENT
one inherited instruction,
one choice still being revised,
one quiet that belongs to nobody else.
DO NOT ADD
a fabricated date,
a private name,
a diagnosis, prophecy, or perfect ending.
NAME CAREFULLY
how ease feels undeserved after a long season of alertness.
how peace may be practiced without being promised.
how both sentences may coexist
without becoming identical.
CARRY FORWARD
the decision to sit through one song without earning the chair,
the dignity of the self who mistakes quiet for a warning,
the part of the story that can be shared,
the blank space that must remain blank.
BALANCE
Unlaced shoes lean without standing watch.
Nothing is resolved by accounting alone.
