When you leave
(treading a measure of some unrequited testament
clenched amidst vibrating ribs and incongruous pleas)
When you leave
(expecting some emotive villanelle, and a key)
I leave too,

Divided Twins, we speak quietly,
sleep separately
when you leave,
I leave too
humming in sequence to
what
you
knew
before
(an amalgamation of fantastical contentment,
youth, artistic resentment)

Evaporated

When you left
