So Long

Lisa Cappiello

At the bittersweet celebration
you try to decipher semi-disjointed phrases of encouragement from face after face
after face
but your eyes see only me
staring at you, gallantly
I live for the moment with ease because my sadness is masked
by the clamorous echoes of laughter and the familiar euphoric feeling that directly precedes
absolute obliteration

You refuse to say goodbye
Instead, you take my hand and guide me into the proverbial semi-closed position
for one final waltz around the center of the room
Naturally, I follow your lead
because swimming against the current is how I build my strength
Still, my eyes burn
All the more after I walk away
