A recorded reading of “Slow Hello”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
Corner booth, winter glitter; you grin—I go slow. Mint breath fogs the window. You hum; I mouth a low ‘o’. You say, keep it tender— I nod, let it flow. Coat sleeves hide the tremble. Keys rain soft and low. Your eyes pull a promise; I lean, let it show. slow hello— don’t let go. Paper crowns, coffee halos; snow freckles the glass. Boot prints keep our secret— time forgets to pass. You say truth smears sugar rings; I laugh—let that last. Snare snaps; nerves steady. Heart comes in on two and four. Your name rings on a brushed ride— I ache, want one more. Scarf unlooped on vinyl; gloves find a pocket; shared breath ghosts the glass. slow hello— let it show—two prints in thaw.
