"When you and I were young, Sev."
I wrapped Grandma's old scarf tightly around myself and huddled in the attic, waiting for you, the new lodger.
"When you and I were young, Sev."
We went to the land of the dead. The Black Sea crashed against the rocks, and furious waves swallowed the bones. I stood in the darkness. We were not quite the same.
You said to me, "Look, he's dead, your old lover."
"When you and I were young, Sev."
I hadn't yet thought about death. The candle slipped from my hand, and someone cried out.
When I closed my eyes, you and I lay together in the broken-down broom cupboard.
The fire outside went out.
A fire kindled within.
