Her Story

There's a silence you and I built in that loft. I remember it the way other people remember heat. The black candles had burned down to stubs, the wax bleeding across the mirrored floor, and the only sound in that whole room was the soft fabric of your breath through foam. I'd plugged your ears myself—slow, deliberate, a Dominatrix's precision before worship. Without sound, every other sense screams. You watched me in the glass. Pale blue on pale blue. The roommate cover was my invention, you know. Two keys on a ceramic dish, your bedroom across the hallway, the farce we both pretended was architecture. But the real script ran deeper than rent. Run a ritual from the candle circle, bare-arch toe to your unmoving mouth, foot-and-wick ceremony timed to false dawn—and finish before the sun. Because once light touches that floor, the game inverts. I pour drinks. I hold you. Under the hush of my cheap apartment water I press my mouth to the shell behind your ear and whisper what you just gave me. That's the piece that keeps me drafting-deleting tonight, thumb hovering over your name. The aftercare. The collapse after my iron control. I swallow the brass taste of spent ceremony and imagine you still warm, still deafened by foam, while I trace the map of every silent order across your sternum. At the mirror's edge I rewatch the memory of you kneeling while wax dripped past my ankle. No taboos, Czech to the bone, all candor. You rent the other room so I can own your senses. Come light the circle with me, sweetheart—I'll seal your ears, and I give you whispered permission to be utterly, shamelessly quiet for me.
