The Permission Wars
Exit visa required,
Yet nowhere left to go,
"Adventure" duly mired.
Permission slips required,
Each page a hollow cage,
"Wisdom" they’ve deftly culled.

Exit was the plan. Debate

as pieces depart
one by one
there is no
catastrophic exit
or symphonic
montage about
priceless memories,
just a woman,
lost
in her meaning
chasing what
never was

Silence
becomes the victor
when life overwhelms
and song cannot be found
when the sun is a foreign object
burning at vision
blurring facts and exit doors
one plate on a table
silence eats alone

I try to find the exit
But the door is blocked
A now too cluttered
With tomorrows and
Yesterdays
Nothing else can fit
But the noise

Pressed between this space
of yesterday and tomorrow
Time stalks
A predator in the straits
I race to the exit
Each sunrise, a turn of the screw
Every moon, a death knell
"Breathe"
the birds at dawn remind me
"Breathe"

Pack light my darling
for our exit trip acceleration
as we escape
this grim dimension
where we never fit in
We'll skate hand in hand
on the frozen #rings of Saturn
the coolest of all the planets
and warp blast through
intransigent barriers
of the space/time continuum

Grief moved into my throat
lives rent-free, cut the power
voice shattered windowpanes,
down for repair indefinitely.
No future tenants need apply,
all words will exit the home
heavy, wearing a shroud.

There must be a reason
I've always felt it
A purpose to fulfill
Before my exit
Closer and closer
I feel it nearer
The case for why I came
To this earthen sphere
