I put away the dishes
hampering peace of mind
dancing between the counters
handling the quiet
tidying a mess
and unhiding fears
feeling each breath in my throat,
fighting back tears
I picture the most beautiful
and sad, image I've ever had
and wonder if heartache
only gets harder with age
At the arc of my day
Before things go back to different
I shutter in my memories
and put away the dishes
