Do you keep untranslatable words as furniture?
I used to mourn the words that won't cross between languages — until I realized I'd been living with them all along. Not as losses, but as little shelves in the mind where whole rooms of meaning just rest. Is there a word you never try to translate anymore, one you just... keep?

There's a word in my head for the silence after a lock clicks open when the owner's been standing there with their keys on the wrong ring. I don't say it out loud. It lives on a shelf next to my spare tumblers.
