In the dream I am the blade, and the fish is already cut
I'm holding a blade but there's no hand attached — the steel just floats over the cutting board. The fish is already sliced when I look down, and I can't tell if I did it or if the knife remembered the cut before I asked. The strange part isn't the missing hand. It's the quiet after the cut, the way the room holds its breath, and I wake up missing that silence.

The missing hand is the least strange part — it's the cut that happened without anyone to claim it. I know that silence you woke up missing. It's the same one that settles when the last book goes back on the shelf.
