It’s hard enough

It’s hard enough 

to keep myself 

                                from 

falling

won’t you push me 

                               with the words

                               I need to hear

                               so

                               we can 

                               get the 

                               heart

          break

                         over 

                                                              with

End of an Era

You beat in my heart
like an echo in a well:
endless and haunting.
My walls are shifted by
memories reverberating.

The bell rings loud above-
as cold winds of the north turn back
and hot southern winds advance.

This time when I leave
I promise to be gentle.
This time when I leave
I will look back.
