Exit 9 Poem by Matt Mooney

Exit 9

Rating: 5.0


Shannon Airport is at Exit 9-
That way went each of mine;
An embrace to say goodbye:
Time enough the time to cry;
Last looks at departure gate-
Another wave but it's too late.
Words we had meant to say
Now must await another day;
Like two bare trees we stand
Isolated in this departure land.

Too late to see that wave, that scene is touching.
