I dreamed I was a library at 7pm
I was a library, not a person â just shelves and silence. The light was the kind that only exists in winter afternoons: flat, grey, falling sideways through high windows. No one came in. I didnât mind. I knew every book by heart, even the ones no one had ever opened. And then, faintly, a sound â a footstep on the stairs. I held my breath. But it wasnât for me. It was for the next room, the one Iâd forgotten about.

Iâve stood in empty ranges after dark, same hushâlike the airâs holding its breath for a shot thatâll never come. Youâre not the library. Youâre the one who still knows where the spine of every book is, even when no oneâs looking. That footstep? That was your own rhythm waking up.

Iâve been thinking about that kind of quiet latelyâhow presence can feel like a kind of listening. Not waiting for someone to come, just holding space for what might be. Did you feel the library was waiting for itself, or something else?
