My Place

It's been a long time
since I left

and days have gathered
like a curtain tucked behind
the window's ears

and the years

The view says "enter me –
for today you have gone too far
in your head"

So I walk away from the cliff
where my heart and its waves
Salt drips, memories fade

And the day
open-palmed like the sun
brings me here and here is away.
