    i met darkness in a coffee shop. he was sitting
    at a booth and his tired eyes
    looked surprised when i slid into the seat
    across from him; he said nothing
    and i noted that he was younger
    than millennia, no older than
    seventeen and i wondered why i'd always thought of him as
    something ancient. he looked lonely, i thought, like
    something left behind. it broke my heart
    without me really knowing why.

    i think he knew how much i wanted to ask
    him; about everything and all things
    (which, he later informed me,
    are actually different) and the things in between.
    but i kept quiet and stared out the window with him as hours
    passed and the sun rose and fell. and when the shadows lined
    the street he got up and whispered
    i've got to leave. i watched him go because
    i knew i'd see him again.

    (there was a sort of camaraderie between us -
    i guess it was because we were two people who just needed
    someone)
