with shadows.
shades of yellow and
muted green
on the walls,
complimentary colors
to the wallpaper
i'm about to install.
flowers on flowers,
the curtains half drawn.
it feels like
surrender
of some sort, of fatigue.
the room a collection
of years of travel.
she looks up
from the newspaper and
greets me
with a placid
smile.
welcome back, she says.
my husband will show you
around.
let me know if there's
anything you need.
