Empty and surprised
I gave up today like an old sweater
with unraveling sleeves
and a hole in the back,
put it in a paper bag
and sat it by the door.
I let the grey light seep into it
and the wind knock it over.
Finally a cat came and drew
it out with outstretched claws,
toying at first with the loose strings
before creating new ones.
Like saying goodbye
to an unwanted guest,
I said a few words and turned to go
without looking back.
