Three Goodbye's

so delicious you are

in hesitation as you say

you like some of your

writing as if criticism has value

you used to show me

your poems a map of your soul

for searching so I chart

your depths your emptiness

running self-imagined poet

running running

as you do from me

from emotion from life

leaving my goodbye

unheard forever

as always just as

your thoughts an echo
