where I went

and now that the anger is gone

there may be a few more glimpses
like looking out of the window
through a thin veil of silk.

a look into what may or may not
have been the flicker of a candle
the shadow of it's smoke or quite
possibly the drapery catching fire.

Something called for a new home
if it wasn't the fact that this
one had burned down then why
the packed suitcase?

I just might finally leave a note
that maps out my escape route
this time-but I did so enjoy
the mystery of my new self
and others not knowing where
I went.
