The Note

Folder: 
The Old Stuff

the note

fell out of her pocket

floated to the ground



she snatched it



folded frivolously

written awkwardly

sullied with ink



her quivering hands

carefully concealed it

from curious eyes and minds



it told her story

beginning to end

heartbreak to heartbreak

anecdotes on end



its purpose

to ease her mind

to let it all go



fire and smoke

it burned

ashes, ashes

to the ground



a glimmer of light



over and done



the note told her story

from beginning to end



�beginning again
