Return

Some places stay with you.

I took this after I’d come home—just a weathered panel, stained and peeling. But when I looked closer, I saw it: a skyline. Or the memory of one.

It looked like New York. Not clearly, just enough to stop me.

I lived there once. And I guess part of me still does.

I didn’t frame it. Didn’t plan it. Just recognized something that didn’t ask to be remembered, but was.

Funny how memory finds shape in things that don’t mean to hold it.
