Galvanized by the horror of those pixels on the white screen,
reaching for that familial touch of a black pelt - grasping emptiness;
indescribable this sound of ringing between the screams of "no",
even as I smell the salt and rust cutting pathways down my flesh,
finally letting go of the taste of bitterness made sweet by this goodbye.
