On a cold night,
I met Miles on the stairs
on my way to bed.
“Want to go to Eddie Rockets with me and Billy?”
I didn’t know Billy then.
Dead on my feet I said yes.
When I came down the steps behind Miles
I felt the walls hum
then the air
and then I saw Billy.
Time stood.
The world opened its coat
and took me in an embrace.
Billy was in the world.
