No Reason

she passed the time
counting the grey
hairs on her arm
she detested nail
biting but she knew
it would pass
time.
She tried mentally to feel
various parts of her
body and where flesh met
sheets and sheets
met flesh
more time
every morning
to avoid
facing the mornings
of emptiness.
This afternoon
she will vacuum
without the vacuum
cleaner she will
be on her hands and
knees picking the carpet clean
of lint with her
finger nails
ah yes
much time
will pass
three rooms three carpets
three days pass
18 carpeted steps
one day passes
two area rugs
two more days
the seventh day
she will rest
for there will be
no reason to get out of bed
