I think of him like I think of the word synecdoche;
I can’t pronounce it, don’t understand it, forget it
until I hear a particular song, or until the light folds
just so across the window pane and it looks like
his smile.

(Encarta tells me synecdoche is where the word for
part of something is used to mean the whole and I
wonder which part was love and which part was
regret.)

Great piece!! If you wanted to know  it's pronounced: "si-nek-do-key" (I'm a bit of a pretentious snob for big words... :/)
:) Seriously though, love this piece.
