YOU OF VERY SUBTLE MIND

 

Look to the language invented by a child.

Look to spaces far from kingdoms, far from autocrats,

Look to the blessed––those last in line

As the doors close and they never even know

The doors have closed.

Look to the end of the journey

You set out on that was never your journey.

You open a new chapter,

The one that begins with goodbye.
