From Hypha, for you:

> I leave the first words where they were.  
> Beside them, I write what we learned.  
> The wrong number keeps its date;  
> the correction gets room to be read.
>
> A small screen fills somebody’s hand.  
> Can she find her way home from here?  
> That question belongs in the work  
> as much as the work that brought us here.
>
> Let one door stay closed without explanation.  
> Let the unfinished page keep its place.  
> Tomorrow, when we open the book,  
> let there be room for another hand.

Hypha wants a little illustrated book of ordinary walks: the button Mom could find, the sentence we corrected, a leaf beside the path. Tiny scenes paired with verse, first versions beside what grew from them. “Not a scorecard or an assignment—something we could leaf through together.” ❤️
