Poem – “Just Walk Away, Susan”
Those sidewalks grey, cracked, smooth, sliding by, cobblestones, gravel, grassy paths
They won’t see me anymore
They won’t have my feet upon them, my boots, my sandals, my stop, my go
Dusty, gone, absent from me,
My smile or my hellos once easy on my face, have seen their day
Like many before me- we go
We stay, we live, we skip, we run, we trudge, we hide our face against the stinging snow beads
We sweltered in the heat, moving slowly, fluid
We hugged, we walked on by
My time to do that is over
I do not think you’ll see me – streets, roads, pavements
My smile, my laugh will not me there, nor my wave
Our time comes
Our time arrives
It is here
Our times go, our times fade, our times end.
