Leak

L	  E	   A	    K

                   And
	      you  fixed
              its    shaft
 for  how   many  times  now?
Would   this   be    the    last?
                   	     
                          Sedating me
		          with       that

			        

                                 old
		              familiar
                  	    distinctive
		        tread             of 
	                your    absence,
		         a               tear
		            escaped.
