And she looked at the man mostly named for a color
He had a real name, of course, but the color was so much more true than that
Names are just sounds, identified
“Oh, you.” A smile, recognized
Maybe she knew him from his own words
or a long, dark wall filled with names from a war from before she was born
or maybe it was more than that
“Oh, you.”
Homecoming
Cliff jumping
A Bildungsroman novel in 18 years
Here it is, hear it coming? You have to listen closely,
it’s in the whisper between two friends
then and now
When is it that we realize we are all just mirrors of each other in the circle of time? Soon, very soon-
We’re coming around the bend of it now, hold on tight and-here: immortality
Oh, you: immortal.
