Heartstrings as architecture.
Install this poem on your tongue.
Trace its edges, find the pulse.
Language wraps around absence,
a silence shaped like us.
This is not a mirror —
it is a whisper, folded.
Words, not walls, define the void
where echoes construct meaning.
Sculpture, not sentence, remains.
