Quiet
Watch greef run out to care
The worst of your immagination
holds you
There as the animal you are
For a second to hurt
as hurt by
Yet you let your insides
lay away
For no reason why

AI Interpretation
Under the title `Quiet`, the speaker watches greef drain into care and sees the animal self as the place where hurt briefly gathers.
What stands out is the shift from immagination to embodiment. The page suggests that pain becomes real not in fantasy but in the animal condition the speaker cannot escape.
Quiet. Watch grief run out to care. The worst of your imagination holds you there as the animal you are. Insides laid away for no reason why — a page about deliberate numbness.
