There comes a point when something happens that heightens awareness indefinitely. Senses are sharpened. There’s only cautious rest but no complete comfort. In a heartbeat, you are a blood pump away from a phone call that can rip away at insides and silence smoky rooms. Concern is undulating but never ceases. Tension thickens the air. Attempts at humor are hard-pressed and smiles are uneasy.
Inevitability comes upon you like the speed of a train. Slow in the distance in one moment and barreling over you in the next.
The hardest part isn’t collecting the pieces of yourself once it has passed. The hardest part is seeing what it has done to everyone else, the lasting effects of leaving loved ones behind.
