Not So Good Friday

Infernal groaning of the spirit.  A certain
loneliness that will not abate, no matter
the guarantee of the talking-to I give
my thoughts.  The birds have once again
made a nest on the porch column.  This
year, a new species has taken possession,
added its own touch, built up a crown of
straw atop the swallows' mud nest. Let
everyone new come and dwell here; let
me leave, let me go elsewhere.  Let me fly
far away.  Let me time travel.  Let me
(try to) reinvent my life.  Let me follow
the path to where I always imagined
going. Let someone ask, when I am
gone, why did she leave so
suddenly.  Some days, I fly far
far away and never leave home.
