But when you get there—

There being anywhere—

What will hold you?

What will keep you from drifting?

2.

Grieving over something

You never even knew

You loved: that gloomy

House of your childhood

Where you were mostly

Miserable.

Sold now,

And tomorrow a stranger

Will begin to live there.

Lighter and lighter as we grow

Older—stuff lost, or cast off.

3.

We’re so near, but because of that,

Sometimes we need to shout.

We call it “clearing the air.”

We’re allowed to say mean things

As long as they’re true, or seem so

In that moment.

Also, they must be

Evenly matched—tit for tat.

And later, we have to take it all back.
