#271 here, i will be gone

now it’s the long walk through winter from here on out it’s the slow recession of night and the gradual ascent of day i cannot decide if it’s best to stand outside naked arms stretched wide or retreat into warm blankets and wait it out here with you at the end we’ll walk out into spring and here i will be gone will be gone slowly descending i know everything dies but it doesn’t mean what’s in between isn’t what we make of it i’m ready are you at the end we’ll walk out into spring and here i will be gone will be gone epw 1.16.08 perrysburg, oh
