you’re excited to leave

with your glass and bricks

and there’s a worker waiting

but it’s just about your

blood

shared and home

childhood bedroom

no

contrast

oh maybe there is a stuffed

animal and photo albums

by the door to take you

somewhere new

but there’s nowhere better

so back you go

and what’s left but to leave it

the way it is

starting with hope

some joy

and change

and medication

maybe not

two sisters

but what did that hate do

oh there was the promised land

but it’s not so bad

just a little brown

and the fields are on fire

but what brings you back

joy to fear to home

this is what you wanted isn’t it

I want to show you something new

no no I’ve been here before

you think it’s better out there

here let me help you unpack

but why did I leave in the first place

then

later

that’s enough no it’s enough

I’m moving on

this is the last straw

come on

ask yourself why

if you want it to change

you have to do it differently

show it’s the last time like the others but different

with the promise of next time

finally

how to show finally

that’s moving forward

the promise of promise

in a good or bad way

but can it be just an ending

every person has a different

definition of a good end
