~
I watch you, busy
cleaning a floor that
doesn’t need cleaning,
I know you didn’t sleep
well last night,
I did, that’s
how I know,
we’ll go at lunchtime
and say goodbye to her,
neither of us need it
but rituals are rituals
but we’ll soon be home
with nothing left to
be sad about,
our lives go on
and we’re together
