Where will
that leave us?
Dark room
bed unmade
curtains closed
radio from a far room
Chopin stuff
is this it?
no more us?
Smell of bodies
two cups
with coffee dregs
standing on
the bedside cabinets
did she do
better than I?
that time in Paris
when we first
made love
a moth large and brown
flew in the window
in the night
it was just
the once
*** stains lie
on the bed sheet
this is
the end of us
the Chopin ends
voices speak
in an undertone
I love you
lips touch skin
of a shoulder
a Mozart piece begins
on the radio
in that far room
there can be
no us
birds sing outside
the window
where will
it leave us?
Indentation
on both pillows
fair hairs lay
forget?
forgive?
She draws the curtains
light enters
he stands beside her
again shall we?
A man walks
the pavement
a cyclist rides by
room in light
day has come
goodbye night.
