The suitcase peers from
Under the sofa
Watching, ready to go
 
The painting of flowers
Unfinished
Droops
 
The unmade bed
Looks tired
 
The plant tropical
is ill and unruly
 
The carpet is coated
in stray hairs and crumbs
 
Coats flung over chairs
Hang on
 
Shoes left where they were removed
Wait for feet
 
Must be time to go again
