each time you leave

arqios

 

wreathe of words sprout

upon doorstep bed

beneath a far-looking moon,

whisper to ear

upon fading footfalls,

daily gaining near

nestled between gaps

of tiles and grout

waiting for mistletoe

to be hung again

warm embrace shall follow,

as fingers fumble for keys

that will turn the locks

that leave me fettered . . .

                              . . . each time you leave
