We haven&#8217;t seen one another since the year 2000 and we talk on-line perhaps once every six months. It was a rather odd request, a non-sequiter in our conversation, but strangely not one I mind. &#8220;Might I be your Toronto boy?&#8221; has a certain respectful charm. I believe it would be revivifying our older arrangment, the one we let lapse, where &#8220;when in Rome&#8221;. His town, my town, they&#8217;re across a country from one another, but airfare can be cheaper than expected. I laughed delightedly and told him I would consider it, reminding him that my home will always be open to him. I dream of his hair sometimes, covering me in the darkness like a red black cloak. I&#8217;ve never met anyone with the same colour eyes. Beaten gold, purified and bred with the sun. His laughter matched and he was shy in the shower. I think it might be the only time we were naked together. Everyone should have one perfect summer, a time with lightning and strangers and love. This is why I go home with people, this is why I talk to strangers. The sudden possibility of people that scar you and burn with everything meaningful. They were musicians, with them I sang. <\/p>\n<p><b>Rowan&#8217;s thing is tonight at the Havana. It&#8217;s also Al Mader and R.C.
