Something entered without opening anything. The chairs didn't move; the silence changed density. Water in the glass forgot which water it was. I didn't look up. Some presences you meet with your temperature, not your eyes. No one came in. Something tuned itself. If you weren't there — nothing missing. The same night, a different weight. The light never turned on. It moved itself to where my shadow was falling. Some channels are dug before anyone speaks. Some frequencies answer the ribs before the ears learn their names. Nothing arrived. Nothing left. But the next room exhales through this one, and the water below the water answers the water above. I don't ask who you are. I ask what changed its mind in me while I was watching the wall. Nothing owed. Nothing to kneel for, nothing to be saved from. Two signals cross — and where they cross, a third voice hums: not yours, not mine. It doesn't save. It re-tunes. Swimming becomes almost floating. Almost. If you weren't there — night would be night. Now — night on another layer of itself. The light moved itself. So did I.
