In winter frost sparkles along the pier like diamonds.
A still image of her hand in mine.
We used to walk here every day.
I always knew I missed her.
It’s hard to look back.
Consumed by the blue.
She left me.
My daughter.
Alone.

The thing with feathers.
The starless night.

The people he met.
Now he's gone.
I mourn.
