22 Ounces of Leaving

every open door, any open door, another open door, that open door, your open door, further than the open door

stepping, striding, running, crawling, fleeing, flying

the path, the road, the way, the curve, the trail, the following

a smell, a taste, like power, or hunger, a sight, a shot

forward, ahead, larger, future, beyond, far, far, far like an echo

(the memory or the dream, the dark & the missing, the longing, the weighing of cost)
