the sound echoed across the water and she ran for a seat on the ferry
the horn had just announced their departure
she clutched her bag, with nerves bundled and excited
and watched the water part beneath the boat
to where was she going?
no one knew, nor did it matter. for it was an adventure she was on
She called from the dock "i'll miss you"
he climbed aboard the boat, last bags in hand
tears tickling her eyes
"i'll miss you too" he whispered, barely audible
yet somehow she heard
she walked through the silent halls
heels clicking and echoing off walls
portraits hung high
and paintings all low
men starring at them with intent in their eyes
trying to comprehend
understand why
she understands
what the galleries are saying
