I caught you dancing in this light as I tutored new life and you, comprised of zeros and ones – a binary antidote to monotony – shed your digits one by one, until all that was left was zero. The sum of your virtual experience impressed on thoughts just as intangible, yet both are as real and warming as sun trails dissecting mourning. There you moved about, limbless and free as always, blank pallets inviting your eager hands to craft eloquence as you would guide a lover to final pleasure. This is a goodbye, neither my moment nor yours can ever stretch a light-year, but we digest, worry, cry, and take flight all the same. To teach beginnings and understand endings. To find guidance in day’s light. To unlock the darkness and peer at mystery, fear in our hearts but knowledge emboldening.
