A passionate breeze floats clouds across the sky,
Away
A single strand of brown hair falls from his scalp
onto a cold linoleum floor,
Away
The clock ticks
towards the right,
Away
Microscopic skin cells sprinkle
that same floor
when you try to scrape the pain,
Away

A cracked voice bleeding from torn vocal chords,

Like the flowers we picked,
away,
to see if he still loved us, anyway.
Sways
Away

The smoke rolls
      
Away

The bar scrolls
  
      Away

The ashes go

           Away

She goes

"Away"

It all goes

"Away”

You think you're escaping, but where does it go?

                                                           ­     *Away?
