We dug the old green suitcase
out of the closet upstairs,
loaded the pink cruiser on the back
of the car and threw the hiking
boots still dusty and warm from
today’s hike into the backseat
of the car.
She’s gone again, her bedroom
has a stillness to it,
even the dust
bunnies will rest for several months
until she breezes back into town
at Christmas time.
I'll come home after work
and it will just be the three of us again,
Daisy sneezing over by the couch,
Snowflake looking for treats,
and me.
