1943: The Vision

I saw it when I was nine

alone looking into a shed

a human head cut in two lengthwise

in profile, lifelike, in a museum-size

glass jar, on a shelf.

I knew what it meant:

You must put the head back together again.

How could I put the head back together again?

But I promised. Everyone promised: dark eyes

to dark eyes.
