Farewell to the past
Slowly it recedes
At first smartly
Cowering from the weight
Of air rushing to the space it once occupied
Bowing to memories in the distance
Colorful stains on the horizon

A retracing of backward glimpses
Each footstep falls lightly
One after the other
One softer than the other

Farewell to the past.
Its sweet erasing
Lost in enthusiasm
Like the kisses of a new lover
Needing to cover every inch of skin
With kisses so impassioned--
As to eclipse all memory
At least, for now
