across the room a
mighty release of the tension pent up
inside the mind over hours of
staying as even-keel as possible
touring the interior of my own little kingdom
among the final rays of the last days
kitchens are already preparing
every little morsel of a very long day
stays with you when you never had anything like it
evidence of a much harder time and place
cut from the ways that others avoid
under the radar of a final choice
roped into a donation of effort
ending friendships until thier evolution moves on
dedicated to what my heart concludes
