COLD, RETURNING
—a climatology of the self

Cold as habit, not weather.
Restraint rehearsed until it feels like character.
Nothing melts. That’s the discipline.

EMBER DISCIPLINE
— where wanting learns to wait

Your #eyes pause; #hands hesitate; at my #collarbone, #hair stirs. Even #feet forget movement, as breath waits, time loosens and wanting learns patience beside skin.

Our hands remain civil.
Our shadows mutiny quietly.
Every molecule inclines toward trespass.
Nothing translates itself into movement.
