on the leaving

circling silent streets
leaves bowing away from
shared space solitude sought
into a funnel
pouring the all of life
down it returns
night after night
standing in the doorway
dark night slow departure
impression on the glass
hours of rain finally ceased
imitation sunlight
clears the fog
the weight of emptiness
heart swept bare
mind won’t let it fly
from hands reaching up...
