✴️ Soft Data from a Sharp Day
Every day rehearses the last.
We wave at seasons, at objects,
at versions of ourselves.
All departures disguised as routine.
Life is not one farewell.
It is a corridor of them,
ending only when we do.

It smiled, stayed a moment, then moved on.
Happiness isn’t missing.
It’s just brief by design.

The food was fine when it touched my tongue.
Later it argued in silence.
The body keeps its own opinions,
and sometimes they arrive late.

He matched it. No training, no trick.
Some creatures don’t read faces.
They wait for stillness
and meet you there.

The reply was ready.
Your finger hovered, not shaking, just listening.
Then backspace.
Because saying nothing
sometimes holds the whole shape of the feeling.

The wind changed direction mid-sentence.
A bird landed where no birds usually go.
Something smelled like rain, but nothing fell.
No message.
Just signs waiting for someone fluent.

I read the headline, then checked the weather.
The light outside didn’t match the news.
I answered emails with the wrong tone.
Grief didn’t visit.
But it passed close enough to leave a trace.
