Smoke & Fire

You don’t light this one for comfort.

The hallway is cold.
Doors, shut.
Not gently.

No one says anything after.

Pine hits first — sharp, clean.
The kind of air that moves when something just shifted.

Incense hangs there.
Caught between breaths.
You can feel the space tighten.

Fir underneath. Steady.
Like whatever this is
didn’t run.

Then the smoke settles in.

Not loud.
Not dramatic.

It just…stays.

Cedar.
Sandalwood.
Holding everything exactly where it is.

Nothing got fixed.
Nothing got explained.

you said things
so did I

The House Blend sits low — dark, steady, unmoved.
Still here after the door closes.
The scent of something that got tested
and did not leave.

The friction isn’t the end of it.

It’s the proof.
