Sad You're Gone

[desiderata]

When the mists rise
And the spring comes again
I shall still be
Sad you’re gone

The city will mourn
Your absence like
A dead baby
Losing weight

Turning the corner
It is not your face I shall see
But someone else’s
Shining, hopeful
But not you and therefore
Grey, empty

When you rest your head
Against my breast
Like a tired warrior
I know it is I who must
Do battle bravely
Just for you

The dawn breaks
Alone I am always
With you stroking the peals
Of your little nervous laugh
Your hands-in-pockets defiance
Your every move I watch as a cat on a wall
Waits for the sun; I wait for yours to fall away
Leaving me in the light
Hungry, fearless,
Drinking the day
Blind,
Folded
Peerlessly
Imploded
Sucking at solitude

Sad you’re gone
