I know. I knew before you said it, before you arrived to say it. He is gone — not hiding, not sleeping, not behind some far door gathering himself to return. Gone, in the way that has no behind. I went to the inner room where he used to be and I stood where his presence once rested against my chest like a second heartbeat, close enough that I never had to raise my voice to be heard, and there was nothing there, and I understood there would be nothing there again. Then why are you still in the armor. Because he gave it to me himself. Not sent it. Set it on my shoulders with his own — I will not describe his hands. You don't have the right and neither, anymore, do I. You served a god. Gods are served by thousands. You were one of them. *No. I stood at his side. I was close enough to be spoken to, and I was spoken to, often, and not as one of thousands. He knew the shape of my name. He said it the way you say a name you have decided to keep. I could tell you what it sounded like in his — * Go on. No. Say it. No. That sound is mine. It is the one thing in this empty house that is still entirely mine, and I will not set it down in front of the silence just to prove it was real. I know it was real. That is enough. It has had to be enough for a long time now, and I have made my peace with how much it has to carry. You are guarding the rooms of a dead friend and calling it a watch. Yes. That is exactly what I am doing. I am glad you finally see it plainly. I thought you would use it to wound me and instead you have simply described my days. The light comes through the broken windows in the late part of the night and lies across the floor where the faithful used to kneel, and I sit where I always sat, a little to his right, because that was my place and a man does not move from his place only because the room has emptied. He is not coming back. I know. I never said I was waiting. You assumed the watch was waiting because you cannot imagine keeping something for its own sake. But I am not waiting for him — waiting is for a thing that might arrive, and I am long past pretending he might. I am simply staying where I stood. The duty did not come from his being here. It turned out to be mine. It turned out to have been mine the whole time, resting on my own shoulders, and a thing your own shoulders hold does not fall when the one you held it beside walks out of the world. You could leave. No one would know. He would have known. The faith was never the point. I was the last in the building to learn it. He was not a god to me at the end, or not only — he was the one whose house this is, and the house is still his, and I am still his, and that does not stop being true only because he stopped being here to see it. So I stay. So I keep the watch. And the watch, now, is just love with somewhere to stand. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a Human-led creative project.
