out of my back pack, putting them on the counter
to be weighed, stamped, sent out. the kind woman
who has asked me about my stickers and mailing labels
before took one look and chuckled. "well," she said,
as she obligingly sought a place to put the stamps
without covering up any of the pictures, "you've got
that fella everywhere!" and she smiled gently, an old
soul, understanding that being is sometimes a desperate
thing. i smiled back, wanting to tell her that yes,
indeed, he is everywhere, always, but an incoherent,
"that's the only way i know how to do it" came out,
mumbled, embarrassed. she smiled, again, letting it be.

i walked back home with that phrase repeating in my
head. everywhere. everywhere. i've got that fella
everywhere. the safest place, everywhere, nestled
inside so firmly that my heart beats his name.

Bo-no,
elena
