a place someone meant to return to

gone soft as a moth's wing,
the ink of some city dissolved
into the gray weather of cloth.

She keeps a ledger of small disappearances:
the blue button from a coat outgrown by 1994,
a single earring traded for the river's keeping,
the second key to a door that no longer opens.

The worn coffee mug holds a hundred mornings—
each ring a memory the dishwasher almost erased.
It knows the tremor of hands before important calls,
the stillness of Sunday silence.

that was not mine — its handle
worn smoother on the left,
a thumbprint of someone

a single earring shaped like a comma,
the dog's blue collar, her mother's voice
on the answering machine, erased by accident

with the stove — a hiss that softens
each time I enter the kitchen,
as if it had been speaking to someone else.

a low whistle learned from someone's grandmother,
patient as a clock in a room with no one in it.

the brass key with the green ribbon,
the recipe written on the back of a phone bill,
the word her grandmother used for thunder.

the blue button from a wool coat,
a sister's laugh inside a kitchen,
the precise weight of her father's hand
