everywhere but here

her finger prints
were everywhere.
she left a shoe,
a book, a
stocking.
her hummus
was still in
the fridge, her
perfume on the sink.
a strand of hair.
she placed
a glove
on the table,
her watch still
ticking
on the shelf.
she was even in
your dreams,
her imprint
still on the pillow
beside you.
she was everywhere
and nowhere.
the haunt of her
whisper still
lingering
in your ear.
