Today I remembered what comes after. I remembered my lost embers… Novembers, Decembers.

When most prepared for the cold, it was already around me. And when most prepared for the warmth, I was stuck chasing it.

Mourning.

I wasn’t home, I wasn’t present then and there…

when I visit those old places, I step gentler on our roots…

…we had so much more to speak about.

But I was a child for the longest time.

I know you would say that isn’t such a bad thing.

It passed.

A sea of darkness followed it. That will pass too.

I am the son of the whitest flower and the blackest leaves.

I am the abandoned home searching for its lost keys.

I allow the light you left inside of me to burn free.

And I thank you.
