Title: Out of the Reliquary of Broken Self

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.
