Chapter Text
usually, he was smiles and sunshine.
usually, he was buttercups and dandelions,
summer songs and new horizons
and sweet
fine
wine
usually, he was strumming strings
embroidered silk, bejeweled rings
bright blue eyes and curls of hair
voice of robin, heart of bear
a soul divine
usually, he was dancing feet
a flying rhythm, steady beat
a festival all on his own
blood a-racing, pupils blown
usually, he was a friend
usually, he was the road connecting town to town
usually, he was the wind billowing all around
usually, he was the sky, limitless and bright
usually, he was the moon glowing in the darkest night
usually he was all this
but sometimes
he was
just
a man
