not yet (poem)
it’s the last day of school
knowing you are going
but you can’t leave yet
it’s the moment when
you’re told, “it’s over”
knowing that it is
but you can’t grieve yet
it’s the coldest day in march
knowing that it will get warmer
but it isn’t warm yet
i’m ready to go
grieve
let go
but i can’t …not yet
