The Thing You Should've Said

The Perfect Rehearsal for a Ghosted Audience

I rehearse monologues for ghosts. You're late.

I speak in perfect cadence to an empty room, sculpting words in steam and silence. My thoughts drip like wet hair on cold tile—deliberate, slow, unavoidable. I am the thing you practiced saying when no one was listening. I am the speech you gave in the dark, where no one could see you tremble.

What I'm Into: unfinished arguments, eucalyptus steam, the hum of the fan, mirror monologues, silent applause
