Circling

He is here again today.
Sitting
watching his daughter
building sandcastles

Crying,
he turns to me,
nods.

I am here again.
Walking into the wind,
my dress too thin,
my arms around my waist.

The heat is restricting
movement.
Holding people indoors,
or here.

All still.
All stirring.

I’m walking faster,
through the absences
words can’t fill.

I love the way you create everything by physical detail, conveying so much emotion without ever mentioning it.
