“Echoes in the Graduated Cylinder”

 

In the glass throat of morning,

a single drop measures memory—

not by volume, but by ache.

 

Calibrated silence, etched

in milliliters of longing,

where each mark recalls

a moment we didn’t name.

 

The meniscus curves like a question,

hovering between surface tension and surrender.

And still, the wait drops— not to fall,

but to be seen.
