There was a silence

upon the field leading to the house.

And a heartbeat. I was almost three.

Alot had led up to this and a lot had been promised.

He was an older man and he was kind.

And something has taken what was there.

My memory of this. No. Its just…

I had been asked if I wanted to visit him.

And all I remember was there was a silence

leading up to his house and my heartbeat.
