Precursor To Our Goodbye. A Night Alone, Together


I
I read the last few months on your face,

wearing it like a noose.

Our estrangement has been self-enforced,

how quickly it fell away.

Red lit illumination

showered us

sitting there

holding each other

s o l o n g s o l o n g s o l o n g.

Breathing deeply of your scent,

our silence.

Spreading the hours wide

drinking out of a jug of wine,

we got so close.

It came

it came

out,

everything

cooped up,

everything

hidden

came out to say

hello.

All we could do,

All we could say

was

drink

drink

drink

and say

how much

we would miss each other.



II
Where you go there is no return. The ties are being severed gently

but irrevocably. Have you found what you are looking for?Will you

find it there? I can't tell you, I can't know. Your answers, Your heart

are your own.


III
One week from today it will be over.

It will be

finally

totally

completely

OVER.

then what?
