the shape, but need one another
to help fill in the details

perhaps months,
perhaps months,
years from now, these
days will become

to make out every
fine detail in the
heightened haze

all day, i keep
forgetting that you

as he sat in his favorite

you were reading.
tonight, i am not ready
for the details just yet.
there are no brave
messengers. you are
gone, but not yet gone

gathering the right
