Sometimes a Woman
Sometimes a woman
leaves a man
for another man
or just leaves.
Sometimes a woman
leaves a man
by staying with him
after saying something
he can’t forget
though she has no idea
what she may have said
that makes him forget
she is still here
not at the North Pole
where he thinks she is
barking with seals.
