Epitaphs are for the dead. Memorials. An unwritten epitaph, then, is something understood, a recollection for something that is gone. Some part of your life you thought had ceased, emotions that you thought had died, Michelle (npub1dsd…l2mp) ?
But the epitaph drowns "in every breath." Then, that which was thought dead must have been revived, and the memorial, itself, become redundant as a result.
Every breath "we take" indicates some shared experience. The effect of this other person - the "touch", being the revival that you experience. "Dares death to wake" suggests a challenge. Perhaps reviving something you had, in some way, put into a metaphorical grave, and now you feel challenged to experience once more?
