I wrote your name too early
Then took it off the line
The screen went soft and empty
Like it was giving me time
I changed “I miss the old days”
To “Hope you’re doing well”
That sounded almost decent
And nothing like myself
Still in the Drafts
Not gone, not sent
Just warm enough
To not forget
The coffee turned to daylight
My thumb stayed near the blue
I didn’t want an answer
I wanted one less truth
Maybe restraint is mercy
Maybe silence knows
How to hold a feeling
Without making it go
I keep it where it almost lives
A sentence with no door
Not asking to be opened
Not closing anymore

Warm Enough to Answer
Nollis Fen
"Drift & Warmth" is an analog soul / bedroom funk album that embraces imperfect reception
Nollis Fen does not sing perfectly arranged emotions
He sings kindness that never quite becomes words, longing that remains tangled in crossed signals, and body heat still quietly sounding beneath the noise
Not every true voice arrives cleanly
In fact, because the signal is unstable and the voice is slightly hard to catch, the listener leans in and listens more closely
That intimate distance becomes the warmth of Nollis Fen's music
