I found you again
behind different eyes,
but the spirit was unmistakably you.
I started to recognize you
in his movements,
as he would pause my heart
to check in on another,
just as you had done
so many years before.
Even the way that he attempted
to clean up his mess,
must have been a page from your book.
So as I start this new year
I will rip off his mask,
and once again
begin running from you.
