4.50

It was twenty minutes
after half past four
when he closed the window
and walked backwards
down a corridor
that was lined with photographs
that meant more than the memories
that were inside of them.
'Whatever you can't do, I will'
he had said
but words weren't always
what one was listening for
and they had fallen short
of just enough,
again.
