When She Left

when she left
emerald spears
lay rusting
in the ground
partially veiled
by lost companions

 shed skeletons
stoically stand skyward
stabbing space

silence captures all
as water flakes
fall quietly to the tarp

crackling fuel 
in the room’s womb
melts the chilled void
she left behind
