Pearls and Charcoals - a memory

Posted: Aug 30, 2009 Sun 07:47 am     Views: 144    Interacts: 0

I rub my sleeve against the blurring glass – his smile has dissolved into those million pearly droplets clinging to the exterior. Gleaming white in the terminal lights. Like the dim illusion of a long-ago dream. I can still make him out in the distance – clad a sober white as usual.

A brown spreads through the pearls. Rising and falling like the cadence of life.

I wave back at him, hoping he’d know.

And the bus rolls on to the dark night, replacing my pearls with dull charcoals.
