Disappearances
-------
Things I left laying in the mud.
Things I lost first.
Things I should make sure
return for another day,
tucked in the bed,
Spring curled deep in. Drunk,
crying. I am the other
noisy sleeper, never pleased, nor mourned,
just me. Always.
Love rubs under a tired eye of wonder
insisting she's back;
loud, singing urgent dirges.
Leary, cupid's go-lately sighs.
Crimes she heard.
When this crime
shouted. Things I have allowed.
Things I heard and said.
Disappearances kept missing.
