I left the corner where I’d stood for a long time
waiting for her.
She never showed so I went into a late night
greasy spoon.
There was a table by the front window
that was not occupied.
I ordered a cup of coffee and sinker to
kill time and think.
The wind was blowing hard against the
glass pane
Leaves from trees were rushing down
the gutter under street lights.
Cars and busses past going somewhere
taking people home.
I wasn’t going home tonight because I
had no home.
I rented an apartment with a bed and
an old icebox.
The pan that caught the ice dripping
always needed emptying.
It would run over tonight because I wasn’t
going to that room.
My clothes were there and that was all
I had left.
