leftover.

your shadow brushed my knee
nothing higher, nothing lower
icons of the past left in
drawers rolling closed
my fingers,
un-webbed
let me swim,
reach, feel
for the present
as your wandering eyes
find my convenience for the last time
lessons learned
good forgotten
till our bodies
are left to soften
deliver your praise
although unearned
and i will drop you
soft and stern
