a suitcase by the door


when everything seems
to be okay,

the most feared words
to a man are,

'we need to talk'.

nothing good
follows that.

now? you ask, 
right now?

i was just going
to take the dog

for a walk.

yes, she says. now is
as good as time as any.

please, sit down.
she's grim 

and looking away,
then you notice

her suitcase by the door.
