This fragment leaves only the window wind, a willow-touch denied, and the paper's movement as the residue of disappearance.

The line feels like an echo from the fuller "Gone" poems, but stripped down until touch and motion are almost all that remain. By denying the willow again, it rejects natural consolation and keeps the scene inside a harder, barer room. The fragment works like a leftover breath, holding onto one image because the rest has already dropped away.

Gone fragment, a single line: window wind is not a willow touch that blows the paper. The unfinished form is part of the poem.
