The sweetness at the end of the meadow (Day 1297; Part 2: K__)

2. K__


Once a confidante  you have become

over the years  an enigma   a flash 

of sun on stucco   in the other room

Bo became oft-abducted Hope’s 

unlikely hero   what color 

was your hair   the scent of cigarettes  

smoke hanging in blue waves 

on cool  dark air   some lines never blur   

you were there  and then I was gone   

where did you go   a mountain 

of white towels  hot from the dryer

the ache of a fractured bone
