Description
He sits,fingers curled against his cheek,
pinky lightly grazing
his pink lips
With his right hand he goes
to tossle his feather soft
brown hair
I can't help but think
exactly one year ago
I was doing
the exact same thing
His arms go down to the desk
and he lowers his head on top of them,
tired.
His back is arched
so delicately.
I watch him
breathe.
What is he thinking about,
I wonder.
Four bells
and the class rises
almost simultaneously
He lifts one strap of his backpack
over one shoulder
and smiles at his friend.
Just for a moment,
I'm jealous
I watch the way his legs move
as he walks out the door
He starts down the stairs,
fingers like a wisp of air on the rail
Reaching the platform,
he turns,
and catches my eye
We stare, blue on brown,
for a million years
I know he knows,
but I just can't
look away.
