NaPoWriMo Day 26 – The Leaving

train 2

For Mag 267
—
You and I
are sweeping up
the shards of something
blithely broken,
something shattered
into a thousand
jagged things,
by this weight,
this unshifting
burden of this we,
we nearly were.

There is leaving,
and then this,
Leaving, headed west,
chasing closure,
across the valley,
beyond which
there is no returning.

On Repeat – NF (feat Jeremiah Carlson) – I’ll Keep On

—
It’s like I’m standing in the rain
and you offer me a raincoat
But I would rather stand there
and get wet than take the handout
