last scene


[[ Roughly based on a local girl who disappeared forever walking home alone from a night out. There is security video of her walking down the seaside promenade in the very early light just before she vanished. ]]

last seen walking 
home from Friday
home from anger
phone running down

barefoot sidewalk
swinging her shoes
within the sound of 
waves coming down

coming home late like that
barefoot and wobbling
you will be the talk of the town

almost morning 
bathing in strange light
almost daylight
bathing in almost day
what is the color 
of this time? 
this blue hour? 
this golden hour?

stepping through the singing of first birds
stepping through echoes on empty streets
stepping through air, through morning dew, 
wet street lamps, 
wet windows, 
wet shining cars,
stepping through air, through morning dew, 
like nothing could ever
