Ard-bwrbwynt-jahz-an-flstyn File

Jahz. (Breathe through your nose. Let it buzz.)

It is a nonsense word for a nonsensical world. But within that nonsense, a strange order emerges. The flstyn is where you finally stop running. The bwrbwynt is where you learn to dance in the destruction. The jahz is what you play when there is no audience left. Try it. Now. Alone. Or under your breath on a crowded train. ard-bwrbwynt-jahz-an-flstyn

What did you see? A coastline after a flood? A child’s toy melting on a radiator? A door that has no handle, but is slowly opening? But within that nonsense, a strange order emerges

And that is precisely why it is sacred.

That’s the thing about invented language. It doesn’t describe reality. It creates a new one, if only for the three seconds it takes to speak it. I don’t know what ard-bwrbwynt-jahz-an-flstyn means. But I know what it feels like: the moment before a sob turns into a laugh. The sound a glacier makes when it calves into the sea. The first word a newborn AI speaks before its creators delete it for being too strange. The jahz is what you play when there is no audience left
