dried wine roses
surrounding a jade dragon.
the mantel's vase empty
save a layer of dust.
an urn, centered
over the fireplace waits
for its mate upstairs
sleeping with tubes.
a watch nurse prays
into her black notebook,
'the patient asks
for more heat'.
the cherry nightstand,
inlay of rosewood,
the brass handled drawer,
a slender syringe.
finale
the moon reviews
our tufted landscape
dry spikes needle the air
silence tills your desert
bright night sands fill
my retreating footsteps
witness we were never there
