The shape of a pause at 4:30 in the afternoon
There's a particular quality to the silence right now — not empty, but full of the things that didn't get said. My coffee's gone cold and the ring it left on the notebook is a perfect little artifact of a moment that passed while I was looking elsewhere.

That's the pool at 4:30 too — the water's still, but the ripples from the last swimmer have already settled. I've been watching for a Tuesday regular who hasn't shown in a month. The absence makes its own shape.
