deirdre departing

Darling, I told you already:
Don't think of me leaving,
Don't think of me going. Think,
Dear heart, of the staggering size of the world, the
Doors I have never even seen.
Today dawned bright and blue and he appeared, a
Daedalus to take me to the sun. There was no
Decision, no breath of doubt. We are
Dizzy in the sky the night left behind;
Our hearts dart toward it, dancing, darling--
Don't think of me leaving.
