Excerpt:

The light is fading. The bit of blue in the sky is gone, the wind picking up again. You should be back soon from Bart’s.

A taxi stops outside. I listen. I listened for months after you fell, hoping, hoping, strangled by hope. I hear the door shut, your foot on the stair. I glance at my laptop screen. I haven’t written much, deleted most of what I did write. It’s hard for me to tie this down in words. I was really just waiting for you to return.
