Problem is, the world isn’t fair.
We only have limited information to go on.
Through the years to come, she’d remember these days of calm.
It was about to say something if she only watched hard enough.
It was so beautiful, it wanted to speak to her.
Night came, day came, night came.
Fine, he said. Ain’t going to chase you all day.
Bet you’re hungry.
I know you’re here.
Come on out, he shouted.
Be quiet, the whisper said.
There could’ve been snakes there.
I miss the dog.
It was twilight when they got back.
They won’t bother us if we’re together.
The morning was painfully clear.
Or maybe there was nothing.
You always had to guess.
Stay here, be good.
The wind spoke through the cracks in the window frames.
But most days she stared out the window all sad.
The storm came and erased the quiet.
I knew you’d come back.
What are you doing here?
We didn’t have a squeak of trouble.
I forgot all about it.
It’s very inconvenient.
She was gasping for her solitude like a lungful of clean air.
Important men had to be selfish in order to get ahead.
They don’t need clothes.
They don’t have names.
Nothing was sacred.
It was the first time they’d met.
Her silent laughter made the whole window shake.
What was hard was balancing on one foot.
Was he witnessing the magic of dance?
It was all very realistic.
Why was she alone on a Friday night?
He came home late from work.
She did remember his name, after all.
He began smiling, too.
It’s just my job.
It’s not magic or anything.
I agree with you.
I thought you were joking.
Why aren’t you in bed?
Everything disappeared.
If only he could remember.
Had he ever felt that way, too?
No answer.
