I Will Leave
When the time is right I will sing
and herald long all my losses
gathered waiting in my mouth
to spill upon the lilting air
louder
When the time is right I will fly
and take with me all my loves
crammed against my breast
to fill my heart as it drums
faster
When the time is right I will leave
and put away all my knowledge
poured with relish into a cavern
locked away with memories
forever
A Thought For Every Word
