Like a man practicing his whole life to say a single word
Leaving

I am weaving my life
through all these other lives,
through tomorrow,
through next week.

You are becoming:

an echoing scent,

light fingers on my wrist,

a few little sentences stripped of context,

the faint sting of sensation
distilled to hardly a drop.
