spare thoughts

SIJ is just over six feet tall, has dirty blond hair, scruffy side burns, a scraggly mustache and the beginnings of a goatee that will never become anything more than the beginnings. he has a patch of white in his hair that changes shape gradually throughout the year- somewhat larger in the summer and somewhat smaller in the winter. he has strange protruding bones above his shoulder blades that feel like the remnants of wings. his face is broad and open and dotted with freckles and his chin is strong and his cheekbones high. his eyes are the color of glacier hearts.
i know the contours of him better than i know myself.
i hope that someday i know DEK with the same thoroughness.
