Day 360

six days and counting,
I am on my way to
carving a door through
the wall we once constructed
arbitrary amount of time,
but I needed to start
somewhere
I see it no longer exists
and I could actually walk
straight ahead,
but I like ritual
ritual is helpful
so I burn
one ribbon
one letter
one memento
one piece of jewelry
the way I recall
you did
buried me
and us
underneath a pile
of sand
in an unmemorable
location so you can
return there someday
and we will have
no significance
that was harsh
but good
I should’ve done that
instead I sit here
far behind the curve
on this letting go thing
burning one ounce
of our weight
at a time
a piece of rope
a post-it note
an envelope
a photograph
(no, not the photograph)
but here I go,
walking this road
without you,
the way you went about it,
and never looked
back
