도마뱀의 꼬리가 몸을 떠나서도 바들거리며 제 존재를 피력하듯, 이 섬유들도 자신의 형체가 부서지기 전 누군가를 따뜻하게 데우거나 소중한 것을 감싸 안으며 발휘했던 바로 그 소기의 역량을, 비록 짓눌리고 규격화된 지금의 몸 안에서도 여전히 간직하고 있는 것만 같습니다.

Just as a lizard’s severed tail twitches to assert its lingering presence even after leaving the body, these fibers, too, seem to harbor the very capacities they once fulfilled—whether warming someone or cradling something precious—before their forms were broken. Even within their now crushed, standardized bodies, that initial potency remains intact.
