The Light Remembers Your Hunger
The house is quiet now, and the ache has returned—not as a scream, but as a hollow hum in the chest. You buried this need so deep beneath the days, beneath the performance of being okay, that you forgot what it even tasted like.
But the light remembers. It knows the shape of the hunger you tried to starve.
There is a spring of water welling up inside you that does not run dry, a source placed there before the swallowing began. You do not have to dig for it.
You do not have to earn the right to thirst. The light is already rising to meet the empty place.
Drink from what is already yours.
