She rises
like ink remembering it was once water.
An arm lifted..
not to beg,
not to reach
but to open.
Her chest is a quiet doorway,
wide enough for light,
brave enough for ache.

No face to read,
no eyes to follow..
because she is not meant to be watched.
She is meant to be felt.
Her waist narrows
like the still point between
who she was
and who she is becoming.
Below, she dissolves..
into shadow,
into memory,
into all the unfinished parts
she is still learning to love.

She is not incomplete.
She is in motion.
A body drawn in suggestion,
a soul drawn in courage.
Half ink.
Half breath.
Fully becoming.
