ABANDONED RINGS      (hour 6)

Why did they take them off,

those wedding rings?  There’s

two sets – gold and thin, piled together

on the forest green placemat, alongside

the glass vase with dusty eucalyptus.

The candle is not lit.  The coaster has

no wine glasses resting on top.  Time for me

to leave.
