Only human- part 4

I don’t think I can take much more of this. 

I’ve been awaiting this dreadful moment all my life and now, 

Here it is. 

A car pulls up and a woman gets out.

The car pulls away leaving her stranded. 

She shields her pretty face from the breeze, not that I wanted to see it.

When I saw her last she was only seventeen.

Like me.

So long ago,

I think I missed her.

    leaving the heart

    she takes the stairs, 

    her heels click clacking down the hardwood steps. 

    she turns the tarnished silver doorknob, 

    and the door creaks open. 

     

    before her sits a man.

    too far to hold

    I catch a glimpse. 

    from afar, 

    the shine of his silky hair in the golden sunlight

    his expression unreadable, 

    as if he's pondering something he'd never tell a soul.

    watching him

    Kathy watched out her window as Samuel left his apartment, 

    spit his gum on the ground

    and lit his cigarette. 

    the same as yesterday. 

    the same as every day.
