Day 4 - Departure Poem

Nap

I have to get away.
Not for long.
But I have to get away

Or I will walk into a truck
just by accident
Or say things I mean
or try to button my zipper

I need to lie down
to have my fingers vanish from me
and, as they do,
erase my brow
my sides
some name
I had.

A field opens up,
leads away, wind stirred, in all directions.

This, at last, is me.
