Gaps

Under the silver of foamed clouds

I called you back, and dragged feet arrived,

Leaning in the shadow of our old tree

Near the flowering bushes of rain, 

Then your arms gently rubbed

my  back  against icy pines.

I heard your chest  breathing softly

But why, without a faint sigh of warning

Restlessly, you walked away. Was it my need

To be around you, when all you wanted was to

Stay with your own thoughts in the fullness of dawn break?
