Residual Goodbyes

His thoughts lounge upon his day
with feet up - resting….
sunken deep into the grey - of mind.

A familiar comfort
with the unfamiliarity - of time.

Hands dragged through layers
as his watchful eye -~- ticks…away
an unconscious act, of a nervous cat
twitches, to a face at play.

The neuron scurries……
across the cluttered floor
a nervous jump, to a startled door
and the edge of seat…. - sinks.

He stands - unsure of why
to bruised aches, of memories
a deep breath - a sigh
of these….. residual
goodbyes.
