 +=====Citrus Boy=====

 +**Somewhere**
 +
 +> What does it mean to end?
 +> Who are we, when it’s all over?
 +> And what comes after the close?
 +>
 +> I lie in my bed
 +> And I try to think
 +> And in the meantime
 +> The city moves in sync.
 +>
 +> Somewhere —
 +>
 +> //A cocoon awaits//
 +> //Blinds shutter open//
 +> //Hands grace a shoulder//
 +> //And trees reach for sky//
 +> //Frost bites//
 +> //Birds fly//
 +> //Glass shines//
 +> //Lights die//
 +> //Wind on a clifftop//
 +> //A life to define//
 +> //Paint trickles down//
 +> //Tide starts to churn//
 +> //A cat curls up to sleep//
 +> //And the fire inside burns// —
 +>
 +> I think that the world we know always turns.
 +> For even when the curtain falls
 +> The actors still get one last encore.
 +>
 +> I think that the tale we write always returns.
 +> For even when the poem stops
 +> Our eyes still get to read it once more.
 +>
 +> For even when
 +> We put down our pen
 +> Somewhere —
 +> I think our story
 +> still breathes.

 +— //Oscar Lee Murcott, 18//
