You’re Done

You put it down

you let it go

you walk away

you’re over with that

so over;

you tear up the pictures

throw out the clothes

forget about this

and especially that

you clean the attic

then the basement

do a ritual

lots of rituals

giving whatever

back to whoever

until it feels tired

and done

and you’re done

until a single bird

flies across the fog filled sky

in the perfect frame of a window.

One bird, then another,

then lots of birds,

a murder of crows;

the window empties

you look back and it’s still empty

and you know she’s speaking

even if your ears are shut

and your eyes are closed,

your soul is looking,

listening,

remembering

the soft nook in the dune,

wet rocks along the river

something returning

on the air,

the morning light,

something, someone

speaks and says hello..

you’re not done.
