I Never Left

I never left

To return

Laced

by your morning mist

I confess

I keep your picture

in a frame

To touch

To hold

before my evening rest

I weep

in the shade of the day

I climax

on the Xanadu railroad

Longing for our love chase

Be gentle

Rescue me

From my death

Send me a note

In a bottle of coke

You can never know

How you used

To make me come

Before the leaving

Before my death

As a poet
