A response to one of my influencers


It’s not

that

I

Let the words get away

It’s that I’m allowing myself to see the magic fading


after




every single letter…


and it begins to look b ro ke …


And




Here I am, writing to a ghost

that has become just like those fading letters

and

it’s weird

because they’ll

notice your words

before they notice your

face

or the essence of you.


It’s like you’ve become the letters

and your words have outlived you.


And

We understand that some

like to live their lives

from words

written on scrolls and tablets

and walls


and some of those walls have been broken

turned into dust

forgotten


just like you


but

every now and then

I look up images of you online

you

and the other writers

are not forgotten.
