Morning After
Awoke.
Rolled over.
The bed,
Next to me was empty.
Rolled over again,
Across the still damp spot,
From the night before.
Crossed to the bathroom,
A towel on the floor,
Steam still on the mirror,
Over the sink.
Nude,
Stepped into the hall.
Thought I heard a door close.
In the kitchen,
On the table,
Two cups of coffee,
One nearly empty,
One still warm.
Poured for me?
Egg still warm from the pan,
On a plate,
With toast,
Jam.
And a note.
“Had fun.
Let yourself out.”
Nothing else.
