The jail cell talk without any cameras around to record make his last 51 minutes in the pen with a sketchy bunkmate a do or die conversation that may explain why he became homeless, why he wrote the love letters in the first place, and if both were random at all.
As I go to hand him his key and re-washable cup, I remind him that βthe lobby coffee is freeβ, and he glances at my name tag.
I lazily connect my last sentence with the next, saying βJec, for shortβ.
He pauses, then shakes his head and asks βWhat if I want to call you something different?β
I meet his eyes with a stare of my own, slow to respond, blink, and say βIt will be okay Abram.β His face scrunches for a moment and his eyes look as though he is wondering straight through me. My glance falls deeper into the hole of an eye, and I see a marble in the night, the dark side of a full moon, which can be plucked right out of the sky to place a piece of the void heaven filled should I grab it and tuck it into my pocket.
The ascension falling as the walls collapse to drop a cloud in his ear, a long fiber weaves my wonder, wherefore out there did he discover?
And I conceived a thought of a single droplet, enough months from now, falling into a gravitationally absent drip time has lost, and him not.
Before I can tell if he eased his facial expression, he walks off keys in hand without another word.
βSee, I told you. Killerβ Bobby says flatly, and I just return to checking my emails.
