Retros by Filomena Pereira

I met the Queen of Shadows and her Demon Lover while on a walk in the
neighborhood. She was wearing her red hair, but I noticed her lover's
eyes. I thought they would be summering in the Soul and had not expected
to find them in the neighborhood. His eyes called to me in recognition.
We had met once before upon the dance floor. That was long ago before I
made my way into the dark chamber where they dwell. She has no eyes.
She sees not her lover's eyes. I am her eyes. We had danced the seven
portals before I lost my memory in the darkness of the Well. In the
darkness, the chamber danced and only voices filled the empty space.

The three of us danced. The summer passed in long, dry days. The winter
came and I returned home to the old neighborhood. I had not expected them to
visit, but they have come. Now they will dwell with me this summer and
we will dance once again. My memory will return of those days in the
dark chamber, the route I took there and the route that led me out. I
will remember who she is. I will look into his eyes. I will drink the
darkness of the Well and remember my Life.
