““What is going on with you, Rev?” He rubs his eyes. “I don’t know. I’m just tired.” I think of how he sat in the hospital with me, saying nothing. His silence was more supportive than anything he could have said. I don’t know how to do that in return. Maybe I can offer something else, though. I pull out my phone and do a quick search, then turn it around and slide it across the bed. He doesn’t reach for it. “Did she send more?” “No. It’s a poem I had to read for English. Read it.” He looks up, and the expression on his face is exactly the one I’d wear if he suddenly said, Hey bro, read this poem. “What?” “Just read it. I think you’ll like it.””
