this is all it was


closure

i still live in the meadow with the bed
underneath the fog and mist
with your belongings surrounding me
old books and childhood photos
in the home that you built with memories of your life

underneath the canopy of the trees
i explore the labyrinth you left me in
stumbling over marigolds and grapefruit
searching for dessert

sink

i thought you trusted yourself
at least for a while
your decisions
your ability to make choices

only trust that which is tangible


so wash your hands with magic soap

let the suds grow large and frothy

creating rivers from your wrists to your elbows


see how it feels and wash it away

letting the suds disappear down the drain

rest your wet hands on the sink

they will always look the same

but will be forever changed
