The Rug Never Laid Flat

Dust Coated Unspoken Plans

Envelopes Sealed Themselves

Pillows Shifted in Quiet Protest

Screwdrivers Rolled Away on Purpose

Table Salt Clung to the Grain

Couch Cushions Swallowed the Past

Jars Labeled in Someone Else's Hand

Stickers Peeled in Their Sleep

Hooks Pulled Back into the Wall
