City Scenes XIX: Shuttered Windows, Vacant Hearts












leaving 




your travels 
unravel shadows
this night unfolds. 
inklings of 
years past 
sparkle and fade
in gardens wet
with ocean waves
of tears to 
taunt my 
heart ( the 
one I've sheltered 
with distance 
and muted 
response) : so 


go with your 
sojourn heart. 
I'll gather 
and repose
this night sky 


as if rain clouds
had never 
covered my
eyes.
