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
