Summary
I find them during the war when the battle reigns on, and I’ve come to collect. There is no victory in tragic losses, but today I come to claim them. I feel a gentleness that stills the air in quiet understanding. For today may be victorious, but I am still present. My presence is felt by everyone.
I watch as a girl with chestnut curls seek out her friends.
I watch the way a boy with silver eyes find her, the girl with the curly hair, and for a moment, time is slowed as the dust from the battle is settled.
There’s a pull toward him. Not yet, I tell myself.
There are others to collect today.
