A murder of magpies perches along the rooftop edges, still as carved stone. He lingers in the building’s shadow, his attention fixed on the woman waiting at the crosswalk. She taps at her phone, wholly unaware of the centuries of history focused upon her. Her hairstyle is unfamiliar, her coat a different color, but her eyes hold the same light he has watched fade and reignite for ages. A sigh, soft as a secret, leaves his lips. Against every silent vow, he steps out of the darkness and into the stream of foot traffic, pulled forward by a thread that will not break.
