Newest Final Impasse

She would, she says incensed, leave one, in an instant, would 

go miles to the east, miles and miles away from one, 

where one would never, ever "darken her door again".


And she would, she says, her eyes filling suddenly with tears,

"go there for good, never, ever to return, so help [her] God"!


Her "there" is only centimeters away on any road map,

but inside one's breaking heart her "there" might as well be a 

million light years away.
