Vestige

Scribbled-out calender

Diaries dog-eared

Journals disowned

Photos pared

Bin-bags filled 

to the brim

never to see eyes 

that can blink 

Wardrobe hangs empty hangers 

bored to death

Comb in the bathroom

still has long hair

Walking across 

the empty house

I stumble upon footprints

that do not take me anywhere
