Still

Step

Stop

Turn

Still

The marble took the evening

In a color close to bone

Each polished vein ran colder

Than the voices that had gone

Your heel crossed the corridor

Too softly to be traced

But pressure has a language

No courtesy can erase

Step

Stop

Turn

Still

You paused beside the doorway

Where the lamp refused to spill

Step

Stop

Turn

Still

The floor remembered weight

When every mouth stood still

You chose your answer slowly

Near the threshold of the room

One hand upon the molding

One lie already groomed

I watched the silence settle

In the distance from your shoe

The house did not accuse you

It simply measured you

Marble keeps a memory

Colder than a name

Every step you softened

Still arrived the same

No stain upon the surface

No witness in the flame

Marble keeps a memory

And gives the weight its shape

The floor became a ledger

Of pressure, pause, and line

A crossing by the staircase

A turn you called benign

It kept no ink, no ribbon

No folded note to save

Only the exact impression

Of what your body gave

Slower now

Lower now

Nothing here forgets

Softer now

Colder now

The stone collects the debt

Marble keeps

What lips release

A memory

Beneath the peace

Every step

You tried to tame

Still returned

With all its weight

Marble keeps

No need to blame

The floor knew first

The floor remains

By morning, it was spotless

The corridor looked fair

But under every polished vein

Your leaving stayed there
