A FaceA Poem by Hannah Ellsworth
Oh, it is true:
you are a face to remember. When cities have fallen and stories are written in our ashes by our children they will remember your face like a promise; like a half-forgotten deity; like a beacon across the lake of my childhood, your face - in passing, our footprints in the sand, mere meters from impact. I should have asked you to stay longer. I should have asked you to stay.
