                                                                I almost blurted out
                                                        over lingering goodbyes
                                        words tripping over each other
                                        those few little velvety words
                                            for a shot of effervescence to satisfy
                            the just-a-little-further yearn
                      but I know better by now, o yes
 then to just hastily, clumsily toss words up
                                                                       
          and.                                                           
                  let.                                                              
                        them.                                        
                                   fall.                                   
                                           where.                          
                                                        they.                
                                                                 may.
