Words for a picture



He leaves again


He leaves longing for the left behind


The comfort of lust satisfied


Over and over again


He leaves the lover


He believes the leaving will not last


He leaves and light deceives him


He leaves and turns


Rolls up his sleeves to look into the deep days of the dark season


When the sun slides away on purpose


Hides from him


Hints of the familiar lost


Then vanishes and deceives him


He leaves


He cannot return


There is no home in the past


He leaves again


And what he leaves is nothing more than


Leaves
