I will be late

Gewar

The sky
is gray,
and the grass is brown and dry.
What a perfect day to cleanse
the mess
in my overcrowded heart.
Breathe in,
cold air
filling every last small corner
of the void that’s left in there,
echoing the long-forgotten
heartbeat of my own,
and not
of any other pulse.
Don’t wait.
I will be late.
I’ll take a long way home,
and I need to walk alone.

    That time when space is needed to hold in mind the wonders of the one loved and where one is headed. Nicely done

  • Thomas W Case

    Quiet and raw—this lingers like frost on bare skin.
    I feel the solitude pressing against every line; beautiful emptiness.
