But You Were Gone Poem by guillermo veloso

But You Were Gone



the movie lasted hours
the popcorn warm, buttery salty
like love
the light subdued and seductive
cherub moths bounced on the porch light
looking to loose valentine arrows
through the screen
the bed unfurled
the pillows fluffed
and candles to light the way.
the night was perfect
but you were gone.
