He stood outside the window
watching in the dark
her house vacant except for the light
shinning from her bedroom.
At the right angle he could see her dresses
lined up in the closet
her vanity, adorned with make-up
and hair products. A bottle
of her favorite perfume
reflected in the mirror,
her bed empty, waiting for her return.
He watched her arrive then walked away
a shadow in the darkness
someone who wanted to see her
but didn’t want to be seen.
