Three white flowers
One folded note
A coat still warm
From being held too close
The room did not accuse me
It only kept its light
I placed every tender thing
On the table for the night
Not gone
Not kept
Just waiting
With nowhere left
I had words with clean edges
I had apologies dressed well
But love had changed addresses
And left no place to tell
Flowers without a doorway
Letters without a hand
Kindness without timing
Softness without a chance
I used to think arriving
Was proof I understood
But late is still late
Even dressed as good
No thunder
No sentence
No dramatic end
Just all this beauty
With nowhere to land
Not gone
Not kept
Just waiting
With nowhere left
