april 20 . lover i should have known to leave

strange, to see you now
fern at night, your leaves
retracted
so soft and folded
in on self
talking to her and
tossing looks over shoulder
to check my pulse

i imagined you
a giant oak
firm
tall
commanding
but see you now
in night's shade
unsteady
small
complacent

and here i am,
heart beating
strong
eyes staring
straight ahead
