Presence<\/span>
 <\/span>
And here too, in the place that loved you back,<\/span>
your absence grows; in the guillotine of green-<\/span>
house glass, in a trellis slung from the hips of a rose.<\/span>
The sun hangs in an empty feeder, which jigs and birls<\/span>
on the cherry tree, a web spans tongue to heel across<\/span>
your weather-cured shoes, still two sizes too big for me.<\/span>
