A ghost of a woman
Wanders
Through my apartment.
Moving aimlessly
From
Room to room.
The cleaning is done.
No mail today;
No work left
To occupy
Her mind.
A ghost of a woman
Wanders.
Dinner for one
Sitting untouched
On the perfectly set
Dining room
Table.
Moving aimlessly -
Room to room.
Watching the clock
She waits until
It is time for her
To lay down
To sleep.
She will rise
Tomorrow
With the first sliver of light
And wait
For the day
He will return.
Author notes
Josh left for a family trip to Vegas early yesterday morning and my visiting sisters left this morning to go back home to Saskatchewan. I'm feeling a lonely - something I've never dealt with well before.
