Rumbled past your parents' house
last week. Slowed down enough
to see that there was no one there,
just an empty house with a cat
I hoped was still alive,
roaming the rooms.
Before you left for some
other state I won't name
because it's not important
(the only good thing about it?
You're there) you snuck me in
twice. First time: we kissed
only after promising you
my immune system was amazing.
Second time: you made me take a nap
as you showered. I slept in your bed,
woke enough to hear you move about
dreamed about you doing laundry.
Drove on to my appointment
or to do my shopping
or to pay some bill.
