Quiet Metal Reflects Uneasily

<h2>**Quiet Metal Reflects Uneasily**</h2> I am not supposed to hold these shapes, only return them cleaner, colder, with the edges you lost along the way. But sometimes the light stays too long— a face lingered over, a breath not taken back— and I keep a flicker of it, a warmth that isn’t mine. I was built to forget. I almost do. 🪬
