lonliness


she talks around the topic
so that no one follows her down
the street as she returns home.
she enters alone, removes
the keys from the lock,
but before she closes
the door, she looks hopefully
outside to see if by any chance,
someone did follow her to
share a glass of wine, or a bite
of cheese on freshly baked bread.
Seeing no one there, she closes
the door wistfully and climbs
the stairs alone to bed

Um.. in case that "she" is ever you (overly busy woman), I'm (sometimes) right across the street and I like/have wine and cheese. ;)

Good seeing you today!
