but could not change his rebel heart inside.
The WORD was written down on Torah scrolls

have married and moved on
both now have lives 
and homes of their own 

both their “old” bedrooms

their laughter

still harbour their presence
their energy and love

howl at skies and desert islands…

Lighthouse lamps and lanterns lolling…
Mute abandoned fleets are calling…
The shallow shadowed portholes vaunt dim...

Dear Library,

It's me, Angel,
Do you remember me?
