take it as a sign
irony
as it’s a familiar
sign
yield / stop / no U turn
I am not what I was
never will be again
leave it all behind.
leave it all behind.
I asked for something small and received even smaller
that says it all

yet

when I look around
someone, though a different someone
is still here
present
accounted for
calling out my name and albeit
not the same
I belong
take it as a sign
once more
I belong
