to remember, honestly.

7/9/2018

 
the label was explicit: avoid the sun.
that was disregarded -
the theatre was only a short walk away,
or that’s what they told themselves
as they tucked into a corner of the packed theatre.
the movie started.
it would become one of her favourites.
her first in ‘life after’.
unraveling would take months, years,
​never really finished,

and it had not yet begun that day in the theatre.
she was still telling herself that the doctor’s visit
hadn’t been anything out of the ordinary.
the necessity to see that movie with that person,
to keep the plans.
to keep in motion what was set in motion,
​because nothing had stopped.

the almost was not relevant, yet,
or that’s what she told herself
as she sat tucked into a corner of the packed theatre,
not yet acknowledging that month was anything but ordinary. ​
