His smile, moved into my hands
His whisper, into my shoulder blade
Lashes flaked my cheeks,
His presence layered intermittent sighs.
But I didn't even see him today.
He was not there at 3AM.
Missing those screams, those nightmares
The entirety of a decade encases his absence
But every word and move he ever made
Walked the very scope of three ocean shores
For me
Inside my memory of denial,
Which has survived these last past years.
