"I'm just stepping out for a bit"
you casually mentioned
before a dispassionate hug
stole you from the warm
glow of your own kitchen
and I must admit I believed you
where an image has remained for
all this time in my mind of your
return home
but life continues on beneath the shadow
left by your departure, dimmed sunlight,
warm rain
and now the center ring
with word of the dropping
temperatures, the fire at
apartment 12D and of
the car that carries you
back to me
wait
what was that?
a dream of mine
getting ever so
twisted up
in reality
