CLOSING
IVAN PETRYSHYN

CLOSING...
THE DAY, THE ACCOUNT, THE DOOR,
THE THOUGHT, THE MEMORY, THE WAY,
TODAY,
AGAIN,
AN EXPECTED SMILE
TURNED OUT TO BE A SILENT CRY,
AND NO RESPONSE, NOT A SINGLE WORD,
JUST A LOOK, ISOLATED FROM REAL THOUGHTS,-
CAUGHT
WITH THE ANGLE OF THE SWALLEN EYE,
SOMETHING DEAR AND NICE,
EXPECTING THE BRIGHTNESS
OF THE SUNNY DAY,-
A SIMPLE GESTURE OF 'BYE',
AND - AWAY.
