A poem about the people who are meant to leave.
It is not her place to stay. It is her's to exit-- When the fat lady drops her last sonorous note it is then when she leaves us with only our applause perhaps her scent behind the empty flapping of a scrim the hollow swing of a back stage door. And this is when she is most beautiful when she is no more. * Published in Poesy Magazine

It is absolutely hers to exit. Exit stage right, or is it left? Only she knows. Sometimes one is at their best, does their best in the leaving.
