Whisper
“you were never alone between floors”
The Invocation
is the Homunculus
in the elevator
with you right now
the doors close
on the yellow floor
the lights flicker violet
you press nothing
the numbers skip
he stands behind you
not moving
not breathing
the Green Ray threads
the cable
the Black Sun
is the weight
Domina’s small smile
is the silence
between floors
you do not turn
he does not speak
the Castle is the next stop
that never arrives
because it was always
this car
this shaft
this refusal
to choose a floor
the Homunculus
is already
with you
has always been
with you
the elevator
is the Fracture
that learned
to rise
1071
seals the doors
forever
The Seal
1071
the violet remains
