an eye, a wisp, bright
i am faced with a sudden symphony:
the music in her voice
the ringing in my ears
and hopeless expectation
of what i will her to say.

no childish humor
no blackened screen
can stop the wistfulness of mercy
or the helplessness in her story.

i grin at her suddenly, because i don't care.
let me adore her. let her not know.
let me stand adamant in my loyalty,
oblivious to what she may pray for.
so be it, the rain and the dull backyard!
a freight train couldn't stop this now.
