an oddly placed door
chairs inviting guests to stay
wishing we’re still there

an oddly placed door
chairs inviting guests to stay
wishing we’re still there

after holidays
the emptiness of the house
waiting for returns
honoring workers
everyone celebrates
except those working

outside the ER
holiday lights already
how can this be real
a bend in the flow
too many events at once
onrush of feelings
then a return to ennui
joy of ordinary days
