THE SPACE BETWEEN
It’s Sunday, and the winter blizzard hovers outside as she opens her eyes and instinctively knows she will remain indoors for the foreseeable future.
In these quiet hours, the apartment fills with light that never fully settles. It is more like a translucent mist of dreams. Glimmers drift, sliding along walls, resting briefly before moving on. Shadows are not dramatic here, they are soft-edged and provisional. They request nothing as they linger in corners and on surfaces.
Milky tea in a clay cup, toast, butter, and honey. Ink on paper, turning of pages. She reads. She sits, gets up, and settles once more. Calendar time loosens its grip, it is of no use today.
A sleeve is pulled over the hand, then nuzzled against her cheek absentmindedly. Fabric exhales warmth, and the body remembers how to be still.
This is intimacy as proximity to the innermost. From intimus, that which sits closest, and she can leave the everyday performances for later.
Nothing here insists on being seen, and yet everything is present. The pause between movement and freedom between layers. Outside, the world continues its restless choreography.
Inside, there is only this moment, a sanctuary not made to last, but to be felt briefly from the inside out.
