Twilight Goodbye

In the hazy twilight of

Dark fine trees and car lights

Returning home 

To

Low eyes

And poor jokes,

Stood the silhouette

Of a girl who came short


In her fine room,

One last time,

To clean out

A mess.

Can’t fix it.

Just let be it

With future hazy.

Let us buzz around

With eyes low

Laughing to poor jokes.

no tears


Last box packed

After we unpacked

How each of us were.

Sadness dripped from our faces

No Tears

And its vapor loomed through the room.

To say goodbye

We took the books

From our beginnings

And lay them in a pit.

And—black flowers

From burning book

We made

To smile again


In hazy air

From smoke and tears

Embracing the silhouette girl

We sent certainty to meet her again

Maybe not between these fine trees

Or her fine room,

But we’ll never fall short

When it comes to being with her.

And everything became fine.

Well, not okay, but clear.
