LEAVING

leaving
bleeding
abdicating
moving on
fresh fields
and pastures new
excitement
disconnection and loss
released from the womb
that nurtured
and inhibited
out of captivity
and into the wild
familiarity breeds contempt
the grass is always greener
on the other side of the fenestration
a fixture made impermanent
a part of the furniture abruptly replaced
six years
1272 days
time to reflect
the ups and downs
the highs and lows
the victories and the defeats
the successes and the failures
the friendships built
the emnities created
memory fragments splinter away
the times i enraged
the times i connected
mostly the slow, the attritional
two steps forward, one step back
treading on toes
clutching at fruit
one by one
two by two
three by three
prepping
preaching
formulating
coordinating
managing
mismanaging
coping and moping
negotiations
mediations
mediatations
cogitations
good karma
bad karma
keep calm...er
losing it!
window pews
mountain views
misty mornings
blazing sunsets
crack of dawns
long afternoons
late evenings
all thru the nights
seas of blank faces
board races
change of paces
basket cases
plans and observations
reviews and evaluations
tcmaps
sostacs
minor crises
heart attacks
emails
emails
emails
still more emails

crackle
over...
and out
