slowly
they are decluttering and selecting
a white
paint to cover
the walls
and
the door frame where
pencil marks
have noted the height
of each child.
27 years
went by like that.
the tree they planted has
grown tall
and shades
the window now.
the kids
are gone.
the stones in the yard
mark the passing
of each dog.
they'll be moving soon.
the truck will pull
up
and they'll be gone.
