Gone

Just before waking
you dream a dream of
a fake Sweet Sixteen
her disappointment with
the stand ins and the reasons
why not
disaffected
drifting off
to her room and
when you follow
to check on her
she is
gone
the chill on your skin
suggests the unthinkable
and you wake to that
first
and then the day
