isabelle

someone is shouting
the name
isabelle. he sounds
desperate.
his voice echoes
through
the alley.
up the fire escape
and into the open
windows. isabelle.
it sounds like
love in his voice,
heartbeak
and sorrow. isabelle.
you never see
who it is that's
shouting, and you
don't know anyone
by that name,
isabelle, isabelle,
but you too would
like to find her.
