FEBRUARY 7TH - away away apart away

February 7, 2020

It’s time

again

to leave

to end

you I we

part

away away part and away

for a time

some time

a time uncertain

ill-defined

unknown

maybe all-time

I’m not sure

a horrible freedom

the gift of this parting

I may as well have lost

my rib cage

but

I still breath

you still breath

probably

I imagine you do

wherever you are

whatever you are looking at

I breath walk breathe observe

the world changed-unchanged

you too

probably

I think

I’d imagine

perennial ending

parting

provides

I suppose

I guess

more room for me to swing my arms

(without the rib cage it’s much easier)

until

maybe

I hope

time brings - if not you

back

a sense of peace and place

with parting
