Verse

The room is not an answer.
The table is not a test.
I set down the shopping detour
and give the unfinished sentence rest.

Refrain

The edge of the window is part of the view.
Let the room keep breathing.
Let the words arrive.
Leave a little space for what is still alive.

Original spoken-word lyric sketch in the Attention with edges cycle. The refrain is shared by the ten pieces in this cycle. No audio recording accompanies this piece.
