(Just out of the oven. Had to write something to get worse thoughts out of my head..)
Go… slip into your familiar fiefdom sealed to me; I’ll say adios now –to my feelings not you- as I release your angel arm, admitting the unattainable.
Go with your peers through nether portals of the mind, stranger than witchcraft. Dark shores bordering lightness! Maybe I too will traverse their sands, beyond reason, more cryptic than art or the poetic word.
My goodbye is irreversible. You’ll not know me if I, too, plummet into improvident spans. Today I can only sit by you, disregarding your prattle, valuing nothing, yet confident of some sheltering empathy in the synchronicity of our lives.
Go before I burst out crying for the self I loved in you; stumble off as if nothing happened, when everything has happened! Grope your droll road to baffling echelons with their odd laws -everything has laws, even lunacy- I’ll not browbeat you back into this world tagged normal.
Set off now! It’s time to let go…

"There is no life higher than the grasstops Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind Pours by like destiny, bending Everything in one direction."
