Traveling Light

here his eyes take the length and breadth of the room from the far windows to the locked cold door where he stands, behind which her absence follows; candlelight scatters the shadows, even his own sways all around like flickery figures in streams of dreams where silhouettes abound; nomadic stirrings shut her out from the mobile world of his own; tonight he'll move away again, for who walks fastest walks alone.
