“It should weigh nothing. Just wood and air, a shape meant for sitting, a space meant for filling. But somehow, it carries more than I do. This chair— your chair— still leans slightly to the left, still remembers the way you sat, one leg tucked under, hands resting lightly on the arms, as if you were always about to leave but never quite did.” — Mason Carter
It should weigh nothing.
Just wood and air,
a shape meant for sitting,
a space meant for filling.
But somehow, it carries more than I do.
This chair—
your chair—
still leans slightly to the left,
still remembers the way you sat,
one leg tucked under,
hands resting lightly on the arms,
as if you were always about to leave
but never quite did.
