temporary stays

when
i met her, she was living
out of boxes.
no dressers,
nothing hung
in the closet.
i asked her how long had
she been
living in this apartment,
two years
she said.
she washed her clothes
in the sink.
and sat
on the floor
to do her make up,
using a toaster
as a mirror.
nothing changed when
she moved
in with me.
