The Dusk of Day’s Remains
His coming home alive was only half the battle. Acting like he cared at all for anyone or thing, to simply laugh, was hell. Awakened, crouching in the hall, not knowing where he was or why he should survive, he raised the gun, and felt the scar where once had been a cheek; then slowly stood. By morning he'd retrieved his old guitar, a scratched-up, string-less wreck he vowed to save. I watched him recreate an instrument. As countless hours of renovations gave him purpose, he was peaceful and content. He strummed his own renditions. Those refrains still echo in the dusk of day's remains. ·······  ······· |
