that Autumn
in their matching green wellies

When he left her
he packed only pockets
bundled together
with toggles and loops
As others said, the title needs to give a a better sense of the relationship between these two people.

That being said, the focus on their matching clothes is excellent. They come wearing the same coats and boots, he leaves still in his duffle coat. The duffle coat in the last stanza becomes all of a sudden unremarkable without her with just the simple loops grasping around the buttons. It denotes a clear change in mood. I think you should stick with the clothes as a metaphor or maybe even personify them a bit. Are his wellies still green...or now just rubber and glue with crumpled leaves stuck to the bottom? Just a thought...may have totally read this wrong.
