having nothing to do with anything

The second time around was harder, I think. Goodbyes are always like that, though.

I’ve had a bad few days. Still a little unwell. Feeling glass-hearted. Sick with wishing. Silent, silent, and my hands having forgotten what little language they once knew. Gesturing uselessly.

Tonight I can remember only the sign for death, and the hard grateful tug of the thumb from the chin.
