Moving Around

The heart-lights are out,
the windows uncurtained to the
emptiness that tells
callers no one's home.

The feelings have gone
north and taken
the words
there they're
lined along the shelves
by subject. But some are

in boxes marked DO NOT OPEN -
words like anger and pain

and love

and friendship.

I think she thought she would feel happy.
I think she thought too much.
I think she feels nothing.

But I feel she feels a
restlessness

and that she will come home again.
