We learn it in Retreating

We learn it in Retreating
How vast an one
Was recently among us ―
A Perished Sun

Endear in the departure
How doubly more
Than all the Golden presence
It was ― before ―

Emily Dickinson

We evaluate it when we have lost!

We learn its greatness
When it retreats
A Sunken Sun was
Recently among us ―

We endear in the departure
Doubly more than
All the Golden presence
Before departure
