“I’m going away,” she said,
Looking stern and resolved.
I took her to mean on a trip
Some distance away from
Which she’d eventually
Return. Discovering my
Mistake only after I
Awakened I wondered
At her firm resolve, her
Desire to get it over and
Be gone. I’ve never been
Interested in travel.
She’d read of voyages
At sea, packages deals
To England, France especially
Heaven, and what that would
Mean, promised advertisements
From him who went on ahead
To prepare a place for her
As it should be perhaps,
But I see no place for me.
