I was
in that moment,
more conscious of being alone.
No one to
share a to-and-fro with,
merely a gentle breeze
as my companion,
one that ad been there for
quite some time,
walking hand-in-hand
consoling many a sole
that spent its time on earth
as one.
This was and is a
moment that people will share
when letting others into
their home.
Happy to have guests
but less inclined to enjoy
washing the dishes after
they’ve left.
Although that’s what dishwashers are
for.
