Remaining

1.

I went there today
and found her sleeping.
"I am back," said I.
"Your long awaited."

I couldn't rouse her.
and the nurse didn't think
they gave her more medication.
They often sleep hard
in the afternoon.

But last night
at 4am, I finally
overcame my vanity.
She has closed me out
and said goodbye.


2.

If I should
want her to miss me
then I am unjoined.
Time is backward.
Future is past
and we hope insanely.
