dear auntie it has been exactly 366 days since your last response in our group text

i’ve been feeling your absence even more deeply as the one year mark approached today🫶🏽
on my walk, the chill in the air felt like your cool damp fingertips smearing grease across the neat parts you etched across my scalp almost 2 years ago.

On that day your magic wand was a rattail comb and each part was a rune, a sigil, evidence of your magic.
🫶🏽
On that day i sat on a pillow between your knees as you archived your love for me across my scalp and along every strand of hair you twisted

thank you for this embodied experience of love archiving. I am so grateful to carry some of your spells and stories. I love you and i miss you. #ase #grief #ancestors #spells #story #archive #evidence
