About Leaving


You want to be alone and that’s ok.  Stay away in the umbra
like a cat stalking sibilantly hissing and meowing hugging
my leg purring you shadow.  You need to be alone and that’s ok.
Pray with lips hushed mouthing memories so they project
on blank ceilings and on clouds you storm.  You must be alone
and that’s ok.  May showers blossom flowers flailing near the
Sun one of the petals prances to its death you slayer.  You are
alone and that’s ok.  Days spin by like a wheel wailing down a
dirty hill till a ditch slaps it into the sky diving into space
you stinging star.
