Total Eclipse Valentine

While I was gone
the sun sat in my chair
warmth and a certain
scent the sun leaves
herbal on the fingers
and lips like a desire
or a longing abandoned
to its own satisfaction
like the sadness of poetry itself
which uses the abstraction
of words to capture some reality
like on safari and bring it home
to put it in a zoo
and display it behind bars
