Dawn

In the hush I hear you;
faint footsteps downstairs:

refrigerator opening

in the dead of night.

hushed

milk pouring

and I wait;

face to the wall;

mind too.

Double Doubts

and Triple Hurts

align the staircase

and I hear them

treading up.

Where were you?

I feign sleep

hearing running water

and the sound of clothes rustling

in the quiet dark.

I am still;

the stillness

of time frozen.

Your weight hits the bed

and sinks.

'I got the job, worked tonight.

Sorry didn't call.

It's not much

but it's better than no job at all.'

Outside dawn was breaking.
