The salt air in Colombo right now, thin and cutting, the way it arrives sudden and holds, the way it reached me five days ago in that gathering when something broke open in the ordinary between us. The sun warm where it lands on stone. The weight of heat pressing down and not settling. Light flat and grey, casting no shadow, making everything visible and none of it clear. Two people gone. The shape of what remains: you and me in that space where the sentence hangs, where naming does not settle, where the why stops short. The salt carries it still.
