Atlanta—2007

I’m older now than the woman I saw leaning against the wall of a building that no longer exists. Much older. The Sears building has been converted into condos. I drive past them and hurry to the freeway. I’ve been in Atlanta visiting my mother and helping her with doctor appointments and pills, and now I’m yearning for home. I intersect the street that leads to the fabric store where Ms. Garbo’s used to be. It was my first bar. I walked into it alone, and then a woman bought me a drink. Sheba’s and The Sports Page are gone as well. After a long drive, I pause at my front door. In the window beside it, my image wavers over a glimpse of desk, warm orange walls, and a flower of stained glass given to me by a lover from a quarter of a century ago. No woman waits on the other side, her hand raised, our images mixing through the layers of reflection. This is not that type of ending. I lean a shoulder against the door and go inside.
