dishes

she has to walk into the kitchen
               barefoot in the kitchen
to find the cup of coffee you left yesterday
                                                                  that she never thought to wash
                                                                                                                                                   cracking

 pots of alfredo sauce -  your favorite dish - stacked in the sink
she used to think
if she could get it right (or just alright) 
that
when you would stop by 
at night
you might stay
the night
all through
til light

when she could make you another cup of coffee 
that she would 
                        conveniently 
                                             not think to wash
