veils were lifted

And my grasps. A dissolving vision of faith, a home in him, an illusion.

And his words. Ripping from me what I hold most valuable.

And my body walking away on its own, into screeching traffic and out of our life.

And now. Time stands still.

"You are free."

words little & large, unfathomable

Adjust to sorrow, attune to farewell.

Die for a while if you must, dive deep and die.

Resurface free. Everything has changed.
