in memory of Billy Watkins
“There’s a gleam comin’ through,”
you said that day
with your arm held up
and your eyes fixed straight
We, your comrades, felt what you could see
and we knew it was true
“There’s a gleam comin’ through,
and if you don’t see it,
then you must be blind or something.”
Something is changing.
A light at the end
of the tunnel,
a peace,
a word so fragile,
only the bravest dare speak it:
Hope.
That was you,
dear comrade,
dear friend.
– Adam Gottlieb
