"Yo —
they didn’t move through streets,
they moved through tone,
like twilight holdin’ its breath,
alone.
Not a sound —
but the hint of sound,
like silence
just learned how to round
a word
it ain’t said yet.
No voice —
just shadow,
no step —
just feel,
no light —
just memory
startin’ to heal.
Like someone thought:
“Yo, light, I remember you still.”
