Still Life (A Leaving)

The difference between
her and all the rest is you
knew she didn’t mean it
when she said I love you
It was the shallowest of times
It was silverfish and dust feathers
It was cigarettes and an ashtray
She paused once to the left
of the birch tree before leaving,
one glorious arm sprouting
from her sleeve like
an extra limb
her and all the rest is you
knew she didn’t mean it
when she said I love you
It was the shallowest of times
It was silverfish and dust feathers
It was cigarettes and an ashtray
She paused once to the left
of the birch tree before leaving,
one glorious arm sprouting
from her sleeve like
an extra limb
