When I opened the door to our flat
the home you'd built
and I'd burned
it was the first time I'd returned
since that wet Monday
when the scent that greeted me wasn't you
I could still make out Dior perfume
orange candles and
cranberry shampoo
but that sweat
that sweat wasn't sweet enough to be yours
