The drying photo of a lost love stirs nostalgia, while the forest’s peace renews his tired body. Preparing a simple breakfast, he finds strength in stillness, blending grief with quiet resilience.] Pines stand still, their silence old. Moonlight slips as night unfolds. The photo dries — its edges thin. Her face fades / yet pulls me in. The bed creaks low / beneath my weight. The roots reach deep, the ground alive. My bones draw light — they rise, survive. The pines keep still, their calm is mine. Coffee steams / a soft red glow. Her smile slips through / the years below. My body wakes / from forest’s call. The roots reach deep, the ground alive. My bones draw breath — they stand, they climb. The pines keep still, their calm is mine. Crumbs fall soft / on cedar grain. Her shadow clings / in bark and vein. The stillness holds / where loss began. Grief comes slow — a silent veil. A warmth once near / still leaves a trail. (Still here… why still here?) The cup cools down. I breathe. I’m free. The pines, her trace — they carry me.
