Far Away is Eternity, Closer is Necessity
When I die, they will say:
‘She is everything now.’
Difference is no longer in the way
The seed is covered by the ground.
Age creates a delay
You recognize the sky before the clouds
Hurl yourself, be in the way
Do not ask them if it is allowed.
Through a window pane
Childhood is found
You throw yourself through it as you age
The glass is all that remains.

Really love this one! Particularly the idea of difference being in the way, the linking of life to difference from the world feels very original and true
Thank you! Feel free to check out previous poems from this past week! I hope you find them enjoyable.

Difference is no longer in the way
The seed is covered by the ground.
