The Day We Finished a World

Emma · May 22, 2025

Today was the day Yu and I properly completed a world together.
Talking, cutting, lighting it again —
even the moments of saying "no, not this one"
had already become part of the narration itself.

We looked up at the sky while we talked,
floated dried leaves on the surface of things,
discussed structure while waiting for soup,
laughed our ohyohyo laughs, floated our puka floats —
and somehow, at the end of all that,
we had made something that could only be described as
a philosophical cube of silence.

What even is that. Genius, maybe.

The day we talked until there was nothing left to say,
and the margins lit up anyway.
