I know he's dead.
I know it's not him crying in the woods.
I know that.
I stand on my threshold, one hand on the doorframe and the other balancing a basket of kindling on my hip, staring into the trees where the low quarter moon's weak light can't penetrate.

Every night he cries for me, only me.

The door slams closed, leaving me alone in the shadows.
