Their Final Refrain
by Brianna Buzzanco
"It begins with a fork in the road and a potential parting of ways,
a memory interrupted by an arrow,
a dream of devastation,
and a query.
It flourishes in petty competitions and surprises,
two Jessies
several Jims,
yellow-haired heroines,
something queer,
strange arrivals,
Headless Headcheese,
war,
peace,
and the making of enemies and friends.
It ends with a vow to stand together,
a celebration,
a tour,
and the closing of a book.
But then it never truly ends,
because when something truly ends
one is assuming that
the story
was
about
them."
