Bosky

What did Bosky inspire?

adjective; meaning "having abundant trees or shrubs,
of or relating to a woods.”


























Noël Coleman

Gabriel was all red hair and striped hoodies of the hemp variety
                   a trail of smoke on a bosky trail
       a cup of coffee with a splash of tea
He was the weird looks he got and the radiant smiles he gave.

Gabriel was hiding under the willow tree
                   wondering for hours how the Lady Ophelia fell
or if she fell at all, he would whisper against the branches.

He was walking alone because it doesn't always take two for a talk you  need to have.

Gabriel was.

But in a way the world didn't always know how to see.

Gabriel had wings and a scarf that he liked to wrap around cold shoulders.
More often than not he slept in old homes (unpaid for) or older tunnels (unoccupied).
He was learning that the world meant sometimes
                                                         not finishing a sentence because the thought hadn't formed,
                         that sounding uncertain was better than speaking false.

Gabriel was learning how to ask.
                                how to make up for lost time.
                                how saying goodbye could be fixed by saying hello.

Gabriel called.
            said he’s coming home.
