       rain
 beads 
      on my window

      I pick 
         just

   and trace 
    your path 
         with my finger

    I notice
  that ‘though we are 
on opposite 

 sides of the glass

     strangely
  we move
     together

       as I follow 
your lead

  I wonder
     about 
        your sense of urgency
      
 your hidden purpose
          
   a mission
       stoically pursued
            
                           and I listen intently… 

——

but abruptly
you disappear

joining the ranks
of those before you

you were too quick

you didn’t stick around

and I couldn’t grasp
what you were saying

I’m dismissed
and you’re gone

so now all I can do
is infer
