Kissed By A Zephyr Art by Edward Burne-Jones, 1891
Sis
i.
so how do you prepare
to say good bye
do you whisper love words
or weep in anticipation
or say that I'm glad
you're still here
for however long
that is
ii.
how does one so full of life
so enchanted and enchanting
walk up to the exit door
iii.
you're cutting holes
you know
in the fabric
of the sky
iv.
voices live in the wind
yours will continue to play
to fling joy at flowers
v.
what happens to dreams
when the dreamer has left
do they shiver in the cold
are they embraced by another
vi.
it is too soon and too sudden
like a wave washing over one
to understand
