AFTER



Cheryl Townsend




I left him dreams
in my patchouli stockings
secrets in unwashed sheets
The afternoon melted into
attentiveness and alibis
All reminders were just within
the door with the missing pane
up stairs that promise sighs
Itıs so habit and familiar
but the dreams go on and still
