one last time

I give her a key

to come back once more. to
bake.

to see what
was. to haunt this house
once

more in her skin
and bones.

she stays the night, remembers.
sleeps
in her
familiar place.

peeks into drawers and closets.
this will be her
last time.

the house has been purged
of what she brought.

she doesn't know what lies ahead,
soon.

who she is, or was, or will always
be,

will soon be known.
