(a summation, of sorts)

so tonight, in this small corner of the world, there will be: perhaps a thousand who cursed and grimaced at their delayed journey to home and to dinner; perhaps a few hundred who waited and understood; one family, and one man especially, facing sleepless, guilt-ridden nights; one family in mourning; one person thinking of this, and of other weights, all at a distance that works as a heavy-pressed fulcrum upon the heart.
