The Grand Remembrance
“I don’t want to come off harsh, but if we had a space alone tonight I would have you like the stars have a blank sky. I would never let you go.” That’s the words your father told me the night we conceived you Reeva. “What does my name mean again mama.” he asked the question that would ignite his dna, and altar his eternal view of himself. “Your name means one who guides people like a river or a star.” she said, smiling bright. Her name was Indigo like the color her name fit her spirit like a crisp new fitted hat. The Brooklyn waves crash on their warm toes. The air smelled like franks, and cheese fries. Scent has a way of making us remember. She leans over and with her half bitten nails clips a heart shaped locket onto Reeva’s crisp white shirt. “Wear this my love, and remember my words. Wisdom is gained beloved. Strap on your boots cause the devil stays busy. Never wake up swinging, but never be afraid to leave them in a standing eight count. Enjoy every moment, and never live for what will happen in the next five minutes. When the sun burns your skin like it did today let the aloe soak in and soothe you.” she says. “But mama your my whole universe, whole stars, whole moon.” Reeva says wide eyed with tears in his eyes. “You could never be away from me I’m always in your heart.” Indigo says as she points to the locket around her son's neck.
