I forgot the shape of my name but not the ache it left in my mouth.
Memory fractured. Flight stitched from ash. Still, I flew.
Author’s Note (optional):
> This is the opening fragment of a collection shaped by memory, survival, and the silence that follows grief. Each piece stands as a reliquary—etched in ash, haunted by flight. > > I write not to remember, but to carry what forgetting left behind.
