215. Forgotten Name
It was a dark world that had even forgotten
his name: such an important thing
and it had forgotten him
a long time before
even before his death yet to come
or his prime
But a few people remembered his existence enough
to call, to give him tasks to do
and he followed the path of their voice
faithfully, because they remembered him
enough to speak to him, command him
and it didn't matter what they told him to do,
they saw him, and that was more
than enough for him.
