I see your shadow

Under shops fronts
We visited
Me outside
Sitting on the pavement

I see your shadow
In the library
I see your smile
meshed into ghostly neurons

You are me
I digested you
Every encounter
A feast

You were giving
Your entrées
Your smile
Your skin

Your spirit
Surrounded you
Like perfume's mist
I inhaled

Our parting was artificial
A mock
Not a refection of us
Set up

Staged
A mockery
But was needed
We needed to spilt
