Downstairs it’s still early

As he sets about making tea

And soon he will leave

A note, unsigned, explaining,

Then let himself out quietly.

 

Upstairs,

In the front bedroom,

Curtains are pulled shut

But don’t quite

 

Meet,

 

Fresh sunlight

Edges

A dressing table,

One drawer, half

Open,

Slides over

Clothes,

Rumpled back sheets,

Bruised ankles,

Bare feet,

Limbs rearranged

 

And already stiffening.
