I caught your spirit

The silence of your calm washed over me like a wave

 

half thoughts

 

reaching down your sleeves only to meet disappointment with a knife cutting us in places we fear the most

 

but in those moments

I see you see me

 

waiting to leave or reappear

 

 Where is your mind where you are going?

 

you left your impression

in the trees

and faces of others (I know and have yet to know)

 

setting up

unavoidable loneliness,

(the way a landscape can only tell you

all the things you've been thinking)

 

you leave me

things when you're

l e a v i n g

but

 

even at the bottom of everything

I find you there

alone too
