Transport

Now, Beloved, our escape is imminent. 
We have come to the last inhalation
before the day turns to something decidedly else.
Even now you can see the green deepen.
Soon it will riot
with every made thing, divorced
from its instance blade by blade
and become the speech it gestured
toward but was unable to say.
Now, Dear One, we unmoor,
drift, are sure.
