The door clicks shut.
The door clicks shut.
I hear the car engine fade.
I hear the car engine fade.
The house feels bigger now.
The house feels bigger now.
I walk to the kitchen.
I walk to the kitchen.
There are glasses on the counter.
There are glasses on the counter.
Some have lipstick marks.
Some have lipstick marks.
I pick up a plate.
I pick up a plate.
It still holds a bit of cake.
It still holds a bit of cake.
I smile.
I smile.
This mess means people were here.
This mess means people were here.
They laughed and talked.
They laughed and talked.
Now it is just me and the crumbs.
Now it is just me and the crumbs.
