25 August

in this home
there is no one
except a visitor

she sits on the landing of the stairs
and she cries loud enough for 
no one to hear

at this computer, 
there is an e-mail
she writes
everything 
all the reasons
she doesn't cry now

she hoards the words
possessively stringing the letters on,
coveting the expression

the receiver is blank
a step short of sent
