• permission

• loss of control

?PASSION

Household checklist

Edges aligned. Surfaces wiped twice. Objects returned to their places.

A note at the bottom:

Disorder looks like carelessness until you live with it.

He mistook her exactness for control.

She mistook his looseness for indifference. Both were partly right.

A bed made too tightly. Sheets pulled smooth enough to erase evidence of use.

A note beside the description: Restraint leaves marks too.

You just don’t see them immediately.

1. Be pure.
2. Be filthy.

An anechoic chamber is designed to absorb reflections and all sound. I wanted to hear myself clearly.

I didn’t expect this much of me to disappear. Dreams without images. A person trapped in an anechoic version of reality.

I miss how easy it was before we tried.

Draft saved three times. Never sent.

Glue fails under stress.

So do metaphors

Love is supposed to connect things.

This just highlights the cracks.

These are the tales from the Caspian Sea

And If I follow the story far enough

I might finally reach you

But if I find you

Are you

what I need you

List titled “Definitions”

• Love: alignment

• Freedom: absence of obligation

• Honesty: saying it out loud

Someone has written underneath:

Or avoided.

Ontology didn’t answer anything. It just made the questions louder.

She recognised him immediately.

Not as someone she wanted — as someone who would complicate things.

Handwritten note on hotel stationer;-Don’t confuse intensity with intimacy.

Beneath it, added later:

• You always do.

Technical note

Conception does not require intent.

He wasn’t looking for meaning. He wasn’t looking for connection. He wasn’t looking for trouble.

He was looking for fun.

And to him, fun meant possibility without consequence.

Three figures, motion-blurred. Arms raised. Faces indistinct.

On the back:

This is when it still felt like freedom.

The signal was never meant for anyone in particular.

That was the first mistake.

Three people, separated by distance and doubt, feel the same

unease at the same moment — the sense that something has shifted.

Not forward.

Sideways.

Somewhere, a signal fails to arrive. Somewhere else, it is

received too late.
