at first,
when someone dies.
the big stuff.
the bed and chairs,
the sofa.
the pictures on the walls,
the drapes,
the books,
the rugs rolled up,
the televisions and dressers.
and then it's
clothes
on hangers.
emptying drawers
of small things.
nail clippers,
combs,
ointments.
small change and keys
to locks
unknown.
the dishes, washed
and unwashed,
cutlery
pots, pans, corkscrews
and knives,
a handful of recipes,
a photo of a woman on
a horse,
and a ball of
rubber bands, a strand
of twine.
