Raconteur - a person who tells anecdotes in a skillful and amusing way

I didn't know you, but I'm sure someone did & maybe you met each day that way, chaotic & intense like an unexpected, sideways rain.

you shoved your stories in your pocket & walked away & it makes me wish I'd read them one last  time.

you'll live the details I have an eye for & I'll write about them to remember what I never knew, your absence slowly replacing what's been written.

all those little bits 'n' pieces we leave behind, there's always someone out there, hanging on to at least one of them

& they'll rest in that place, where stories turn to legends & images are so clear that we'll remember them until our very last days

 because people come & go like rain clouds
& and disappear without a sound...
