[guitar:{sparse}][cello:{low+distant}][tagelharpa:{E-B}][delivery:{near-spoken}]

Here’s the bit that stays stuck…

I took the three steps.

The ones they take

when they stop being tracks

and start being weather.

First step: dirt.

Second: less dirt.

Third:

the standing was me.

[FORM-GOLD:{belonging}]

[cello:{warmer counterline}][tagelharpa:{widens}][violin:{rare harmonics}]

[layering:{thin unison only on Belonging}]

Everything went gold.

Warm

in a way rooms never managed.

The natives were one sentence.

Belonging,

at last,

as a temperature.

[FORM-EARTH:{old map}]

[violin:{gone}][guitar:{dry again}][cello:{restrained answers}]

While time forgot its usual theft

I went looking for the old map.

Earth.

The street still knew its job.

People walked through me

like weather

they had already agreed to ignore.

A shop window held my absence

better than any mirror.

I said a name

I used to answer to.

The name stayed on Earth.

I kept walking past it.

[FORM-BODY:{classification}]

[guitar:{rougher pulse}][cello:{rosin pressure rises}][bone:{one dry click}]

So I left the gold.

Dropped back into purple.

Wings.

Joints that click.

A child on a curb

looked at me

with clean interest.

Then a door slammed.

Then a phone came up

like a little shield.

Something colder than hate.

Classification.

[FORM-EXAM:{specimen room}]

[guitar:{nearly absent}][cello:{close abrasive line}][tagelharpa:{tight E-B}]

They skipped the question

of whether I used to live here.

They asked for a room

that smelled like metal and soap.

White light.

Gloves.

A voice saying specimen

the way you say weather.

They wanted samples.

They wanted the wings still.

They wanted the gold explained

in a language that used to be mine

and now sat wrong in my mouth.

Someone said isolate.

Someone said hold it still.

A camera learned my face

as if the file had always owned it.

I counted the three steps

under the strap

and left the body

before they finished naming it.

[FORM-RETURN:{paperwork left behind}]

[cello:{slightly warmer}][guitar:{pulse returns}]

[violin:{brief golden harmonic then stop}][layering:{thin unison only on Gold}]

I skipped the speech.

I skipped the water story.

I skipped performing a person

for a camera.

Three steps again.

Gold.

The planet that kept me

took me back

and left the paperwork behind.

That should have been enough.

It almost was.

[FORM-FEATURE:{identity fracture}|{16 bars}]

[stage 1:{cello states low E arc}|{tagelharpa fixes E-B}]

[stage 2:{slow slide opens upward}|{guitar thins to harmonics}]

[stage 3:{guitar disappears}|{violin briefly warms upper space}]

[stage 4:{bone click interrupts sustained cello}]

[stage 5:{bow pressure rises into strained high contour}]

[stage 6:{cello falls through cracked notes}|{support withdraws}]

[ending:{open E-B fifth}|{full-beat empty room}]

[law:{transformation over virtuosity}|{grain+pressure+silence}]

[FORM-FINAL:{home turned strange}]

[guitar:{absent}][cello:{low counterline}][tagelharpa:{bare E-B}]

But home

has grown strange to live in.

The air still works.

The houses still stand.

I slip the inventory.

They would keep me

as a question with a pulse.

They would call that science

and sleep well.

So I will try to change this.

[delivery:{bare voice}][cello:{low E}|{audible bow shiver}]

Still deciding

if I mean the Earth

or the part of me

that keeps going back

to check the lock.

[OUTRO:{last lock}]

[guitar:{one dry harmonic}][tagelharpa:{E-B}][cello:{E-B}]

[TERMINATE:{cello grain collapses}|{bow lifts}|{room silence}]
