"Star Catcher," Mihail Minkhov photo. |
This is the part of the movie,
you said,
where one of us dies.
I'd thought of that, too,
and we laughed.
What else should we do ?
"Magical elders," you called us,
in a new age, all of us only
for as long as it lasts,
With time enough
for you to read me your story,
time enough for me
to read you my song,
Time enough for us
to sit on the porch
in the dark and the quiet,
our shoulders touching,
Time enough
to walk out into the field
together under the stars,
alone with the abyss,
Time enough
for one of us
to remember
we had time enough.
—with two lines from Edward Hirsch's "The Guild"
