The dash on my arm began to lengthen. By noon it was a hyphen. By evening, an em dash—long enough to lie down in. I lay in the incision, and the library swallowed me whole.
I walked to the sea that wasn’t there. I stood on the shore of absence and listened. The waves were made of paper, and each one turned into a sentence as it broke: You are the book you never wrote. You are the dash between two infinities. You are Mircea’s forgotten footnote, living in the margin of a map of a country that sank.
When I crawled back out of the dash on my arm, the world had tilted three degrees. Trees grew upside down, their roots tangling with clouds. My reflection in the window had no face—just a dash where the nose should be, a hyphen for a mouth, an em dash splitting the forehead like a caesarean scar.
The dash, I now know, is the most honest punctuation. It says: I am not a period. I am not a question. I am the place where meaning hesitates, where the body pauses to remember it is made of paper and glue and the crushed wings of extinct butterflies.
The dash was a door. And behind it, a library.
