a small bay off the corridor
a small bay off the corridor
a chair, a small table, a half-finished thought.
someone set down a pen and never came back to it.
this is not a destination. you are passing
through. and yet — the chair is here.
and you are tired. one is allowed to pause
without explaining oneself. someone before you did.
a paper on the table, unfinished
in the same handwriting.
