over and over again she comes back
to tell me
warn me
admonish me
about what's important
have i listened?
tried
but the din of
all those others
"do this"
"don't do that"
"need it now"
"needed it yesterday"
"you should"
"you must"
have all but drowned her out
suddenly
a silence envelopes me
a crystal dome
and crystal clear
i hear Opal's message
under the crystal dome
i unpack the truck
unhook the trailer
pitch the sky high pile of baggage
tear up the old road map
go inside
thank Opal
set up the easel
take up the brush
i listened
Goodbye
