one chapter has closed,
the next page not quite written.
a partial future, gauged entirely
on instance.
a chapter fleeting,
an attempted disguise
to hide what is changing,
or to prolong an inevitable goodbye.
so one door is locked,
the other lacking a key.
go find a window,
and let your hopes fly free.
just hope for an epilogue,
one where you are left to define.
the variables by which
you live or die.
perhaps this completed page
is but a prologue
and the rest of the tale
might just loosely be based
on events put in place.
