Acquainted with Absence

At a certain point, everything becomes taken for granted — what we see, what we hear, what we go through.

We stop noticing, perhaps because we’ve grown used to something, to a certain situation,

or maybe to distract ourselves from thoughts we don’t want to face.

The moment we step out of the illusion of habit, we begin to see a reality that cannot be undone.

Words turn into sentences, sentences become stories,

and stories leave a mark that cannot be erased.

Glass reveals a kind of captivating transparency —

a transparency that invites you to see through it,

like a pen drawing imaginary lines,

like emotions we try to hide,

like scenes we try to forget.
