To answer your question, An essay would be most apt, I’ll route through the archives, sift through dusty drawers, Plot the coordinates of where I have been and map out my thoughts.

And in the moment, you hold my gaze, The silence swelling,it’s weight thick, I am but a deer in the headlights, Startled, still and blank,
