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.
