idylles

i remembered someone, heavily, tonight.
i remembered you.
heavily.
i tasted a familiar salt.
felt a familiar choke.
hovered over a familiar gap that would have swallowed me, if i let it.
and it dawned on me.
we met on this very day,
last year.

it's been a year.

october never knocks.
and i should have stolen your scarf, dear.
