and ask you

to the stories
and believe
in their endings.

that set.

waving
the leaves are back on the trees
and the rustle is rife
in the air

that saves

and the birds
are flying
across the sky
singing the songs
and living the dreams

and the ache is sour
in the air.

and
it will take a while.
to let go.
of this all.
