Gone

Curtains still drawn.
Bedclothes in a knot.
Abandoned water bottle.
Wrappings from toiletries on the floor.
Mismatched sandals.
Spring break is over.

I fasten back the curtains letting in the morning light.
Strip the bed.
Gather the water bottle.
Discard the wrappings.
Push the sandals under the bed.
Awaiting his return.
