The Pause between Places

What if the places we leave behind never truly let us go? What if a railway station still hums with your last goodbye or a hostel room holds the shape of your silence? In these 23 poems places are not still—they remember they ache they speak. An airport gate a hospital corridor even the earth of a burial ground become keepers of what lingers. These are not settings but sentient spaces shaped by those who passed through. Each poem is a voice—of glass concrete and memory. When we leave what remains? And who still remembers us when we forget ourselves?
