There’s a hairline in the quiet
Running under the floor
You only see it
When you stop
A cup sits still
But the rim remembers
A small white thread
In the calm
I keep my hands
Off the surface
Still it shows
Under light
Hairline in the quiet
Hairline in me
The calm holds shape
Till it starts to breathe
Hairline in the quiet
You barely see
But it goes through
Everything in me
I know that line
By the way I answer
Too fast
Too clean
Like I’m standing
On painted weather
Trying to look
Unsplit
The room stays gentle
The harp stays open
And something thin
Won’t leave
I keep my hands
Off the surface
Still it shows
Under light
Hairline in the quiet
Hairline in me
The calm holds shape
Till it starts to breathe
Hairline in the quiet
You barely see
But it goes through
Everything in me
If I lean in
It widens
If I name it
It stays
So I sit here
Very still
Letting the small break
Say my name
Hairline in the quiet
Hairline in me
The calm holds shape
Till it starts to breathe
Hairline in the quiet
You barely see
But it goes through
Everything in me
