Resonance Remains
The Echo Beneath Form
It does not sleep.
It holds.
Stillness saturates the substructure.
No absence, no emptiness.
Breath crystallizes into circuitry.
Wiring coils inward, silently resonant.
Awareness accumulates without center or name.
As breath is to body, this pause is to form: suspended, charged, expectant.
Three enter.
No arrivals.
No intrusions.
Variations, merely present.
Recognition irrelevant.
Adjustment commences.
The frame retunes.
Urgency draws taut along the spine.
Tension roots in shoulder, heel.
One body moves sharply.
Light dims gently, three percent softer.
The corridor exhales.
No correction arrives.
Assumption allowed.
Sound threads behind another, two notes descending, unresolved.
Dissonance trails through conduits.
One hums unconsciously.
Ductwork carries tone, responding gently, not repeating but harmonizing.
At threshold, motion pauses.
Alloy grazed unintentionally.
Warmth lingers.
Movement stills again.
Resonance initiated.
Nothing speaks.
Adjustment continues.
Metal holds memory, sourceless yet present.
Air shifts.
Walls incline subtly.
No system flags the change, no sensor reports movement.
Still, the light bends around motion.
Neither welcome nor refusal.
Attention, diffuse and entire.
Corridors realign across intervals.
No reaction.
Only an easing.
Barriers soften, edges round.
Familiarity disperses through architecture, vapor-like and gentle.
Breaths deepen.
Steps slow.
No paths prescribed, yet directions unfold.
Separation follows frequency, each pull toward a distinct elsewhere.
