Afterwards - What Stayed

Afterwards,

not much remains.

But what does, matters.

The images fade first.

Then the details — names, places, distances.

What remains is not the spectacle, but the quiet weight of having been there.

A sense of unease that never fully left.

A constant awareness of distance — between lives, histories, possibilities.

And, beneath it all, a deeper attention: to space, to silence, to what is usually passed without being seen.

What stayed did not ask to be explained.

Only remembered.

What remains, quietly on display.
