Memories linger
like mist on a turning tide,
then fade
into the unknown.
I was leaving
my past in empty boxes,
and dusting down
the old photos.
A postcard bathed in winter sun
was all that was left,
and a key under the mat,
and milk passed its sell by date.
I should have packed my bags and gone,
then she appeared
in the doorway.
Could she tie up some loose ends?
