Time to leave.

Put on sweater.

Pick up bag.

Pick up keys.

Open front door,

Step outside.

 

Pushed back

inside by

arctic wind.

Close front door.

 

Take off sweater.

Need a down coat.

Open closet door.

Dodge falling

boxes, beach

balls, bats.

 

There’s the 

box of old

love letters, 

I wondered

where that went.

 

Walk to kitchen 

with love letters.

Make some coffee.

Sip and read.

I could never 

leave without you.

​

 

​

 

The outside world

Can wait awhile.
