the bread crumb path back

she left something behind.

they all do.

a dish

a piece of clothing.

a watch,

a ring.

a shoe.

a hairbrush full of hair.

not yours.

there's always a bread

crumb

path back,

or so they think, when

you've come

back around

to their way of doing things,

their way

of thinking.

look,

there's a pair of handcuffs

on the ground.
