leaving everything behind
again is not such a simple thing,
just dropping the hammer
or the laundry and walking right
out into the morning never
looking back to what your life
was and the dreams you had
to fill it with, the small lies
and attachments that have held you
down for so long,
the missed opportunities,
the chances for redemption
and kindness,
your memories of childhood
and your mother's face -- all
left behind as the door behind you
closes. the air filling you will be new.
the conversations shorter.
and everything will need
to be rebuilt again.
