For the Woman Who Walked Out During My

To what should I attribute it,
an upsurge in sunspot activity
or the general decay of manners?
Please don’t say it was me,
the dull sincerity of my words,
their untreated depression,
that sent you rushing off.
Let me think there was a man
(with a ponytail, perhaps),
a vase of dried wildflowers,
a bedroom wall on which
you put a hand for balance
as you stepped out of your skirt,
your micro panties, and then yourself
and delicately into a love poem.
