He said, “Follow
the clues,” but I have no clue
what that means.
How can I see
through the slats
in that rickety
bridge to play
games, decode
riddles, & dig
through old slides
to figure
out names?
You hid them so well,
& now how in the hell-
o, am I to say goodbye?
Why do you want me
to figure out
who you were after
you’ve died?
[Author's note: I wrote this from the perspective of a character in one of my novels-in-progress.]
