rehearsal

your bedroom
late afternoon
a refugee sky
a rash of rain on the window
i saw your shoes
bracelets
rings
i saw your indian scarf
your photographs
your deodorant and cosmetics
i saw your books
looked for the imprint
of your concentration on their pages
and thought
this is how it will be when you're dead
(except that you won't walk up unheard behind me
take my hand
and close the door)
red face
