Brenda and Sonny are by his chair. He knows they are not together yet, but he believes they will be.<br>
Stone sleeps, wakes, we wait. When he's awake we laugh about everything we can think of: the night of the popcorn, the night of the bear, lost Lollapalooza, skunked, and tomato juice.<br>
Some of it Brenda and Sonny have never heard, and love. Robin and Stone lore. Stone is weak but has enough strength to laugh, then is quiet. Everything is quiet. He asks me to move close to the window, move close to the light.<br>
I see you, he says. And I know he does.<br>
Something moves out of him and goes away.<br>
I kiss his eyes closed.<br>
Good-bye, my love. God bless. God keep.
