An empty room
on this the day after your 30th
and the day of my birthday.
The symbolism obvious
even if the room is empty
of furniture and things
simply because we are replacing carpet.
Unlike the room,
which will soon be re-covered
and re-filled with possessions,
my heart will remain vacant
for while the room will be full of stuff again
it will today and tomorrow remain
seemingly empty
without you.
