half past seven

i move
the chair over there.

by the window.
the table,

i slide to the left,
i turn the rug

around.
put the vase on the counter,

lifting it from
the mantle.

i dust.
i empty the dishwasher.

i make the bed again.
put fresh towels

in the bathroom.
water the plants.

i shift pictures
from one wall to another.

i make myself another drink.

i think about painting
the far wall blue.

i light a candle and blow
it out.

i look out the window,
still no you.
