I only left

to watch Franz paint

at Neuschwanstein, I protest.

It helps me

keep my feet on the ground,

my past still

at the back of my throat.

It keeps me away from the sky.

It keeps me human.

Richter tosses his bow

(and his bruising looks)

aside, his shoulders

slumping.

His anger leaves him quickly,

as all poison must,

lest it kill.

I’m sorry, Hilde.

I don’t want to lose you

to the woods or anything else.

Now that his hands are empty,

Richter reaches for mine

to fill them.

I need you, Hilde.

I’ve always needed you, long before

we ever met.

You were my first

true friend.
