dear jiyun,

last christmas,

holidays

cold but comforting

remember when
the power went out in
the chalet?

you were in the bathroom
&
I brought you a towel,

you waved your hands
trying to find
the cloth

and I directed my flashlight
to you,

trying to diffuse the darkness
surrounding us

and help find your steps,
the way out,

so you could safely debouch
from the bleakness,
blackness

&

nestle in my
warm embrace

once again.

I found the shiny memories
from the photobooth,

my jacket over your shoulders,
you winked,
I kissed your cheek

you looked,
alive

vivid

captured forever how deeply
passionate you
were,
how much
just breathing pleased you

being in my arms,
geniality clasping you while
being held,

and I'd take all this
for granted.

the thick gloom that seemed
undiluted,

scary and abyssal

is nothing to the absolute
murk
that's engulfing what's left
of this person
