To the ties that I cut

"Here's to the ties that I've cut"*
here's to the lives possible
closed perhaps?
transformed?

I want our parting
dramatic
dark shadows
clever repartee

But
let house lights
show stark
the divvying of accounts
which memories
you guardian
which
to place behind glass
museum of goodbyes
surely
ours needs a place

Such a goodbye
they invented
new ways for time
new songs
to tell of healing
hating
accepting
destroying
creating.
