Before Departing

A habit of mind.

. . . . .

Step away outside.

Be an ember in that light.

Feel it.

Painted of a lemon's zest.

Unweave a thread of it.

Independent of what is temporary.

A strange quiet.

A contemplative tempo.

 A slit of time.

 . . . . .

Opposite you, a mode of interpretation. 

A motion of repose. A mouthful of air. A habit of mind.
