I turn around to see Umi
and the stones fall out of my mouth
But he was still—
I didn’t—
Umi—
More stones clog my throat
and I am choking on my words
I am choking on my tears
I am choking
I am
I am choking
I am choking on my tears
and I am choking on my words
More stones clog my throat
Umi—
I didn’t—
But he was still—
and the stones fall out of my mouth
I turn around to see Umi
