On Hold

You stand so still.

Between me and the thing I never asked for but somehow started to want.

You’re clean. Almost invisible.

But you divide the world better than any wall.

On one side: arrangement. On the other: hunger.

They say it’s fashion.

But it’s really armor, isn’t it?

A handbag that protects against being ignored.

A label that says: Don’t mess with me, I cost more than your rent.

I’m not judging.

I just wonder — what are we really buying?

Maybe it’s not the coat.

Maybe it’s the distance.

You shimmer. You suggest. You never speak.

But I’m here. Just looking. Still human.
