this silence sits easy

so peacefully.

*

today, this morning of the 30th day of june, the middle of the year (don’t quibble, dramatic effect ok)..

i have decided

to just forget everything.

it’s so much easier to erase the past, rather than remember and think and remember and think

maybe in a few years i’ll be able to look back and not be sad

but for now, for now..

it never existed,

and none of it was real.

i know someone who would (should!) be proud of me.

(you better be proud of me woman!)

*

so take me far away now

and hold me close to your heart

and do me just this little favour
