picking through the remnants of a day
and opened suitcases
revealing
emptiness
I found a photograph of my sister
black and white and innocent
and mourned
I hold it close to me now
and a stitched sample
secreted within a cold, hard wooden chest
the traces of a passing younger hand
before the emptying
a tumbler roll as I replace the key in the safe
and pass from this still sad place
of a world
emptied
