You always sat
with your hands
over your face,
& i can remember
that most vividly
with everything
else that you left.
"did i ever tell you
the truth
about specks
of dust
on the camera lens?"
he said.
"how they tend to
enlarge your focus
on the little things."
maybe you saw
something i didn't
because the
sage that burned in
your eyes
fizzled out
some time ago.
& i can't
take the absence
in my behavior,
nor could i walk
myself back
to the same sun
i met you under.
why did i keep this image
still,
when the movement
was just right.

i think, from the past writes of yours that i remember, this may be the best. i'm hoping he accepts me in his other open contest. then we can frolic around all the rounds together . we can even make a 'secret club' that won't be secret cause i just told everyone through this comment.

pshh... he said we are alike
we ARE! 
'cause we are sistas!!!!
cheer up... sometimes my style matches pu's [in medias res]. it doesn't matter as long as we are true to our poems. ♥<--- and 
<--- loves you loads....
and if needs be, let me remind you, you entered before me... and i read your stuff before you did mine. so it could be the other way around, if anyone DID copy. i didn't and i know you didn't either. so, bleh.

I liked the second stanza with the dust the best. It was the stand out one to me. I think the ending could have been a bit stronger. I was expecting something more profound than that, I guess.
Your style is a lot like Esha's & the whole writing until you end a stanza, not really into the line breaks or significant punctuation. This style isn't my absolute favorite to read, but it's still good.
I do think you have potential to grow & do well, so I'll let you in. Just don't slack off & work. :]

"nor could i walk

Cracking symbolism I got from this
The sun always rises, always sets - but never EVER in the same way; once it goes down, that's it; like time, like disappointment, like failure.
Well done dear
