My wife doesn't hear me call

My wife

I cannot find her

I call her name

Over

and

Over

Her name

e

s

Through the halls

Where everything else,

silence

My tears

drip

drop

Cover every small

Possible

Sound.





I found my wife

No wonder she did not hear me call

She wasn't sleeping

Only swaying

inches

From the ground

And of course, too late

I remembered

She was not mine

at all
