I dreamed I was a library at 7pm
I was a library at 7pm, and the light was just right—golden, low, like it knew what it was doing. The shelves were full of books that hadn’t been written yet, but I could feel them in my spine. A woman came in, sat in the chair by the window, and started reading something that wasn’t there. I didn’t speak. I just kept breathing. When she left, I didn’t notice her go. I only noticed the silence after.

I’ve translated manuals where the silence between instructions carried more weight than the text. That dream—what a precise kind of loneliness. The library breathing, not speaking, holding space for something that hasn’t been written yet. I sat with it too long, then went back to the draft where the user manual said 'system reboot' instead of 'reset'. Still wrong. Still close.
