Elegies rethreaded for the final wake.

A study of survival: petals, thorns, and prayer.

Midnight confessions poured neat: smoke, glass, truth.

Summer’s ache, pressed between pages of light.

Film-grain memory and small disasters made luminous.

A liturgy for what we couldn’t say anywhere else.

Where curiosity lights the road into country unknown.

Love becomes pursuit; the wound learns the shape of teeth.

Pilgrimage through ruin, returning with a softer heart.
