[FORM-I:{old passenger}|{DS 08}]

[tagelharpa:{E-B drone}]

[cello:{distant low resonance}]

[radio:{barely audible}]

[voice:{almost spoken}|{low register}]

Against my better judgment…

I stayed long enough

to stop resembling the passenger.

The pod is a rusted joke now.

I walk past it

the way you walk past a name

you no longer answer to.

[FORM-V1:{purple first}|{DS 32}]

[cello:{close cracked answers}]

[guitar:{skeletal pulse}]

[bone:{single click after selected lines}]

Skin went purple first.

Not pretty.

Not ceremonial.

Just the planet

finishing a sentence

it started in the water.

Then the wings.

Bone.

Ugly joints.

They click when the wind turns.

I tried folding them away

for a week

and looked like a liar.

[FORM-L1:{shoe fits foot}|{DS 38}]

[cello:{opens upward}|{warmer bow pressure}]

[guitar:{slightly broader voicings}]

[tagelharpa:{drone softens}]

Do I feel better.

Do I feel right.

Yes.

In the small, embarrassing way

a shoe finally matches the foot.

I still miss coffee.

I still miss doors.

I do not miss

being the only voice

in the dirt.

[FORM-TALK:{native contact}|{DS 30}]

[tagelharpa:{pressure swell}]

[bone:{soft irregular ticks}]

[layering:{very thin unison double beneath selected lines}]

They talk now.

The unfinished animals

from the first years.

The ones that left tracks

for three steps

and then decided not to exist.

I hear them

the way you hear a kettle

before it screams.

No mouth.

Just pressure in the head

and a kind of weather

that means hello.

[FORM-TW:{recognition twist}|{DS 42}]

[cello:{very close}|{rough bow grain}]

[voice:{warmer}|{almost amused}]

[water:{single distant drop}]

Here is the bit I didn’t see coming.

They were never waiting

to decide if I belonged.

They were waiting

for my thinking to get quiet enough

to share.

They call me

the loud thing from the metal mouth.

They remember the crash

like a weather report.

Not a crime.

Not a passport.

A noise

that learned manners.

[FORM-FEAR:{origin scent}|{DS 34}]

[guitar:{single notes only}]

[cello:{low rosin-bite}]

[tagelharpa:{fixed E-B tension}]

[voice:{firm}|{chest-led}]

It fills me.

That is the truth.

And then the other truth

arrives at night

with the wings twitching:

what if they only keep me

while I am still mid-change.

What if origin comes back

as a smell.

What if one morning

the conversation just

doesn’t open.

I would rather rust here

than go back to a single lung

talking to a dead radio.

[FORM-FEATURE:{body-rewrite arc}|{16 bars}|{DS 68}]

[stage 1:{cello states a low E figure with coarse bow catch}|{tagelharpa holds E-B-E}]

[stage 2:{phrase climbs through slow portamento}|{guitar fragments thin and disappear}]

[stage 3:{open strings break into separated rosin attacks}|{bone clicks answer gaps}]

[stage 4:{harmonics bend against fixed drone}|{one water drop punctuates}]

[stage 5:{cello broadens into a strained high arc}|{radio static rises beneath}]

[stage 6:{lead falls through cracked separated notes toward low E}|{all support withdraws}]

[ending:{open E-B fifth}|{one water drop}|{one beat of silence}]

[law:{transformation over virtuosity}|{pressure+resonance+space carry instability}]

[FORM-FINAL:{a life}|{DS 38}]

[cello:{low patient counterline}]

[tagelharpa:{thin E drone}]

[bone:{rare soft wing click}]

I do not know if I still end.

The years have stopped

behaving like years.

Maybe the water stole the clock.

Maybe I am only tired.

I leave that door unlatched.

At dusk they come close.

I answer.

The wings click.

The pod stays shut.

For now

that is a life.

[OUTRO:{habitat}|{DS 06}]

[guitar:{gone}]

[cello:{low E-B-E resonance}]

[tagelharpa:{dissolves slowly}]

[radio:{static remains beneath final words}]

The scans said habitable.

They never said

I would become

the habitat.

[MARINATE:{8-12s}|{cello grain}|{tagelharpa E}|{radio static}|{bone resonance}]

[TERMINATE:{bow lifts}|{receiver remains for one breath}|{hard dry silence}]
