About I Learn Her Silence
A gallery opening in Chelsea. She’s standing in front of the only painting in the room worth looking at — still, unhurried, holding a glass of wine she hasn’t touched in ten minutes. Every other person in the room is performing. She isn’t.
I don’t approach her. Not yet. I learn the particular geometry of her stillness, the way she occupies space without demanding it. And when we finally find each other in the dark, she gives me one night — her name, her body, her rules — and walks out before I can ask for more.
I am not most men. I don’t chase. I don’t demand. I wait. And slowly, morning by morning, she lets me in.
Themes
- Attention as the erotic act
- Restraint offered rather than imposed

I don’t chase. I don’t demand. I wait.
