#217

how you left
how I manage now
the threads left untied in between
wires trailing from an open socket in a half empty apartment
old carpet dented by missing furniture
outlines of the posters you ripped down
tape scraps and pencil marks still on the walls

where you kept the remote
where you hid those days
I was here the whole time I did not ever hear
you come back to rummage in the fridge’s yellow slab of light
the counter filled with empties
the cupboards a dark box of dust
fingerprinted, soiled, evidence of habitat

why I’m still here
why my chest fills with the mixed smells
of others’ lives drifting down the corridors waiting to get started
and the overwhelming sense that somewhere you are out there
leading a spacious, modern one-bedroom life
in a complex unlike this one where daily I hook
my hand on the door jamb still splintered where you slammed it
