Leave Here

Breath by breath, we’re leaving this,
Leaving this behind, a gift
As well as a departure,

Breath by breath. We can’t help it.
We can’t improve it, although
Every breath believes we can.

This is for you. We’re leaving
You this. This is you, and you
Are already leaving this.

Leave us a little. Leave us
A little, as we leave you
A little of what we’ve left.

Breath by breath, you’re leaving this.
Breath by ragged breath.
