1

Intimacy is the loudest sound

Two voices, unaccompanied. Everything else falls away.

2

Time folds toward where we've been

A reversed sample is a clock running backward into warmth.

3

Absence holds more color than presence

The rests between notes aren't empty — they carry the most weight.

4

Light finds the smallest cracks

Even bathroom tile glows salmon at dawn. Attention changes everything.
