Another room empties.
Walls become negative
space bared of shelves’
brown cardboard boxes.
A mottled carpet
spreads into corners
where only shadows
lurked. Now ceiling
light drops over
nothing, reveals
new possibilities
sensed in this room
when we first entered,
now left in tiny
motes of dust
that float on the past
and slowly dissipate.
