in a strange room

21 3 5
                                    

I see
through the open window he
watching her
hear the clock
the quiet
tick tock

I lay out the cards
one more time
watching him watching her
sweep the floor

looking up I see
dishes stacked to dry
I watch
him with her
until the tv flickers off

tick tock

I deal another

try not to see

the strange room

my unmade bed
