She wonders ,

is he in there ?

she walks by ,

barely a turn of the head ,

just the eyes

just enough ,

noticing a shadow

gasping ,

wondering ,

could it be ........?

yes ,

it could be

footsteps echo

through a hallow hallway .......

hers , time infinity

heart pounding , each step

echo     echo

stainless kitchen ,

empty

stainless sink ,

filling

hot , soapy wetness

cunning bubbling blanket ,

floating above

the forgotten cultlery , the

innocent bystander ,

resting below

" where do you want this ? "

he startles her

heart pounding ,

furiously

not looking up she nods her head ,

barely

a motion

inviting him closer

to the sink ,

to her
