He lingers in her marrow,
an ache that breathes
between the beats of silence.
Every step forward
is a fracture,
yet also a vow.
Her cells remember -
they hum with absence,
but her spirit answers:
not all loss is ending.
Alone,
she carries him in echoes,
as she stands in light,
walking the road
that grief could not destroy.
