Saying Goodbye

a poem & and writing challenge

Photo by Samuel Regan-Asante on Unsplash // did you know? other than hourglasses, i’m obsessed with neon lights. Why? It reminds me of Hong Kong, at night. It reminds me of learning how these were made by hand, and in my generation, has become a lost art to mass manufacturing.

If I’m going to store it away
To never look at them again
Perhaps instead
It’s time to gift them
To someone else
Who may benefit from
Honouring them
Loving them
Learning from them
With fresh eyes.
