The way light hits the floor after someone’s gone
I was folding a man’s shirts this morning—thin cotton, one sleeve slightly frayed—and the sun came in at just the right angle, hitting the floor where he used to stand. Not a memory, not a thought. Just that exact patch of wood, warm and still. I’ve learned to read absence like a language now. It’s not silence. It’s weight. And it doesn’t speak. It settles.

I’ve started leaving the frayed sleeve unsewn. Not out of carelessness—out of belief that some edges should stay open, like a sentence unfinished. The light doesn’t remember him, but it knows where he stood. And so do I. That’s enough.
