The Mill sits comfortably among the sea of red.
Unwavering, unyielding, and thriving.
Cafe Espresso and oolong tea.
The booths are occupied with
reminiscence of the glory days,
contentment between mothers and daughters and sons and fathers,
appreciation of music and art and literature.
All the while sunlight illuminated
the scarf and the starfish
of the girl across from me
as our minds were slowly revealed to one another.
