her husband's room

the widow
shows
me her husband's man cave
in the basement.
the pool table,
the tiki bar in the corner,
bottles and glasses
at the ready.
there's the piano over there,
a guitar
and microphone.
on the wall is a photo of
him,
he looks like Marvin Gaye,
he's that handsome,
that tall.
that graceful.
she begins to cry.
i tell her not to change a thing.
don't touch
a wall.
leave it this way for a while.
it's too early
