a good run

they have
a hard time letting go
of the old house.
kids raised.
eighteen years of marriage.
i good run,
i offer the husband.
he laughs.
i guess so, he says,
putting
books into a box to haul
out to the car.
the wife is sweeping
the floor,
one last time.
opening and closing
doors.
she's crying.
