After Internment

Today I move on
Today I move away
Where to next
Where to now

Slow it down
Take a walk
Look at the sky
Breathe in the air

Yet still I stay
In my room
No firm handshakes
No warm goodbyes

The first day
Of the ninth month
Of the nineteenth year
Of this century

The sixty-seventh year
Of first days
Of next days
Of last days
