leaving home

I slip
out in the early
in the morning before
the sun rises.
shirt and pants on.
shoes
tied
tight. hat, and phone
in hand.
keys.
I give the dog a pat
on the head
as he looks up
at me.
I take one last look
around
knowing i'll never be
back.
then go.
leaving no note, no
explanation.
this is how I go to work
each day.
then come home.
the dog, not amused,
shaking
his head
as he drops his leash
at my feet.
