she'll leave so unexpectedly
she'll buy makeup wipes for next week
she'll plan her month ahead
she'll be on time
writes notes for tomorrow
keep on watching a series
pause a three-minute song
she'll leave
without knowing it herself
leave her electric blanket on
water brewing for tea
the gas runs
the bathtub will sit still
waiting for her aching legs to dip in
a window waiting to be closed
she'll leave too soon
without answering back to a call
a half-empty cup of milk
before putting on her left sock
she'll leave
she'll go
I pray she gives herself time to plan
her goodbye
