among his nothing


I find him reading in his study, pouring over ancient books in languages that are considered dead.  his back is to me, but I can see the muscles in his shoulders work as he writes down feverishly.  I lay against the door frame quietly and he stills for a moment.  I know he knows I'm there, but he bends over his books again and ignores me.
