On Expiration

I still have a lot to say on the matter
but I’m avoiding talking to you for
both of us
There’s nothing left to surrender
so I took small steps today like
the first few steps out the door in the fall
right when the season starts
You don’t know if it’s warm
but it looks warm through a window
so you go outside without a jacket
then run back to the house
I wasn’t ready
But I made it further than I thought
