In the pale light of midnight’s foggy street,
I’m haunted by the goodbye in your eyes.

Now I could be seen completely. Being seen made me their king. It gave me my authority, and all the people watching were my subjects.
Eyes, countless as the gravel at a shrine, pressed in all around me. They found their center — my image coalesced. In that moment, dressed as a yakuza, I became a sparkling apparition, like a scepter thrust against the sky.

I just may have found another favorite author.
