Goodbye Valentine

Nothing is empty
not even the light’s goodbye
with its one movement
sweeping the table clean
throwing itself away

the rows of mottled stares
and untenanted conclusions
the present fills with
remembering
were you ever sitting

backwards on a train
at night through open country
or were you living here by then
a prisoner of your own
insolvent thinking?
