She Will Go

Like a concise rose
she crosses the lobby
knowing her goal,
carrying it out.
Tick, tock, her accurate feet
complete the flower.

A quiet perfume remains
after six o'clock
when late sunlight
illuminates the office
slanting across the empty desks.

But she has a vision,
that hides within her
like a thunderstorm
within an egg.

One day she'll untie her hair
on vast green fields
under darkening skies
and finally be.
