Breaths between heartbeats,
Where shadows conspire
in silence.

The hedgehog curls,
into a vault of secrets,
each quill a memory,
each curl a heartbeat away.

Paranoia dances with
the echoes of soft murmurs,
below the surface of sound,
where stillness speaks.

In the space of the hedgehog,
lies the vast ocean of
unspoken truths,
waiting to unfold.
