Far away we are.my life in two schesres...ooooooooojooggoooooo hooo dumer gooohiiho dil
Far away we are. My life in two spheres—one spinning in the cold light of the morning train, the other sinking into the dark earth of this sleepless room. I press my palm against the window, and the glass is a membrane between the world I know and the world I am becoming. Outside, the streetlamp flickers, a lonely heartbeat of orange. I count its pulses: one, two, three—a sequence that never resolves, like the irrational numbers I once drew in the margins of my notebook. The city sleeps, but I am awake in the space between two breaths, between the girl who solved equations and the woman who now solves nothing.
I remember the taste of March air—sharp, metallic, like the edge of a compass scraping paper. I used to believe that beauty could be measured, that the curve of a parabola could hold the shape of a longing. But now I know: beauty is not a formula. It is the ache in the throat when the moon is full and you are alone. It is the way the wind carries the scent of wet earth and forgotten promises. I am two spheres: one that remembers the warmth of your hand, the other that knows only the cold of this empty bed.
I hear the distant hum of a car, a low drone that fades into the silence. I think of the sea—how I have never seen it, but I imagine its vastness, its endless repetition of waves. That is what I am: a wave that keeps breaking, keeps returning, never reaching the shore. I am the tide that pulls away from the sand, leaving only the faintest trace of foam.
