Like Eyes Anew
Nothing changes, really, when it happens -- world doesn’t stop, time doesn’t slow: they lock eyes and he takes off his glasses so he can see like he did before, like he always did with him; and he was pretty sure he’d never get this again, but he’s glad he was wrong.
Tie blowing, chest heaving with a sigh and the tides below; yeah, he’s glad.
And they can’t say anything, can’t do anything -- not here, not where anyone can watch, can know; but seeing him again: it’s like breathing for the first time -- and the last time -- all at once.
