Fare Thee Well
by Supatra Sen / June 2nd, 2024
The time to leave
draws nearer
And so many goodbyes yet…
The straggling branches
Would often creep and wait
Stubbornly
Watching over all she did
I’m going…
Leaving
The words without even
Casting a glance
And the branches
As always
Expressionless
The last hour
The final
Retreat
One last look
At all left behind
In the farthest corner
Inconspicuous
Hidden
The withered branches
Bent broken
Struggling
With a single white bloom
The one harvest of its entirety
Facing and waving
The receding figure…
