the windows project
a blue-gray sky,
and my black sweater,
under denim and leather,
drags the color down.

the clouds are white,
and the buildings are blue.
overall, it's nice to look at.

I feel a hand on my back,
and hear a familiar voice,
but it's not will.

"nico, baby, wake up."
persephone shook me gently,
gently and lovingly, as if
she were my mother
who never wants to be replaced.

I sigh loudly and
I sit up and
I look down at my work.
so incomplete.
I look around.
will is nowhere.
I wish he were somewhere
in this neverland with me,
this neverland is bad,
it means I'll never
see them
again.

I stand and follow the woman
outside and to her old shaggy car
and open the car door to the right
and hop in,
feeling the cold wind
against my cold flesh
and wishing even more so
for will.

now I go along and
as the car starts I get a
very firm grounding from
a woman named persephone,
and I look down at my stuff that I
almost forgot to grab back there
and I wonder when will left and
why he left and
if he'd pick up the phone tonight and
why persephone is here and how she
found out I was here and
hopefully this wind dies down
just a little bit.
