GRIZZLY PEAR

written snapshots

Stephen Brian, 2022

He was one of the first folks to play with us,
On our first visit to Friday Night Game Night,
(Jim and Troung’s place.)

He was a little geeky — me too!
(Two dudes playing board games every week)
I best remember his aura of kindness.

My days in Houston ended in 2013,
Never got around to that 3P game of Konig von Siam.
(He liked heavier games, I’m into lighter games.)

Just found out he passed away this year.

We’ll get that play one day,
(Between rounds of of Tichu)
On that next plane.

sincerity
arrayed like a king
good fortune in the end
