A face on a train reminds me of her, standing at shore, flicking strands of wet hair. Staring through sunlight as if life were a window to all she’d amazed at, when the world was laid bare. The moon rising gently, over ruins or trees whistles me back to those soft summer days; catching the wind shifting sands down the ocean, arrested by innocence in warm August’s rays. A face in the mirror tells me she’s gone, that loneliness grows now this image is torn. Yet sat in the silence with a photo in hand, I’m right here beside her, through this darkening dawn. |
