Pages unfurl like trees reaching skyward,
always growing longer, giving more
space for words to push through, roots
stretching in syllables. You cannot look
behind at what was said or sung; life is
ahead, ever higher, while memories only
splinter and tear. Ink kisses in cursive
loops through the stiff, starched spanse,
so you keep going, ending in only
an elegant ellipsis...
