A haunting, elegiac poem that conjures the weight of memory and the subtle ache of loss through the image of a dark blue suit—tightly knotted, pressed, and yet out of place.
“They’ve dressed you in a dark blue suit, tie knotted neat, as if you were on your way to some quiet meeting instead of lying here.”
The piece explores the tension between appearance and truth, presence and absence, what we show the world and what remains unraveled beneath. It’s ideal for readers who connect with lyrical, introspective writing that quietly lingers.
