Coming, dear?

I have pieces of myself

In boxes under the  bed.

Tonight I'll take each,

Neat brown parcel into

The woods

And burn them.

 

The parts that feel

The parts that sing

The parts that care for anything

 

The parts that remember

Will disintigrate in the embers

Of the first summer fire.

Erasing every trace of my presence here.

 

Time to disappear

Into the night like

A vapor in the wind.

 

Follow if you wish.
