DEPARTURES
Your departures are a mixed bag.
I feel saddened
lonely, uninspired in your absence
so I can't possibly enjoy them
but your departure:
the frown, the wink
the hug and kiss
as farewell...
they all offer me more joy
than I can say
even as I try to explain it
- which I never would to you
for fear that you might
deny me my goodbye
and leave
without granting
any of your endurable gifts.
