The shine in your eyes
The glow of your smile
Assured me of your love
*
The warmth of your touch
The strength of your arms
Helped me feel secure.
*
What was found has now been lost
Like a boat come unmoored
What once was right, now is wrong,
As if evil has prevailed.
I won't stay, shut out in the cold
Where there's no flame to rekindle
What once we had.
*
The darkness in your eyes
The fade of your smile
Assure me of love gone stale.
*
The chill of your touch
The denial of your arms
Confirm my decision is secure.
*
What was found has now been lost
Like a boat come unmoored
What once was right, now is wrong,
As if evil has prevailed.
Farewell, my former friend and love.
My hope is that
You are found once more.

Flags flew freely in the summer breeze. They consisted of a gray and white human brain against a black background. Scales of gold sat just overtop the image of the organ. The sun rose at just the zenith and shared its light and warmth with the attendees to one of the country-states’ greatest accomplishments: the graduation of two women who had been in a halfway house and found their passions for art design and communications. Mala and Sheltham looked on with sunglasses and cheered the graduates. With the knowledge they had months to go before being up on that stage, they looked at each other and grinned. After the ceremony, they walked into a pizza restaurant that fit their budgets.
