In the Middle of
there was
an apple on the desk
uneaten
there were tickets in the drawer
unused
there was an appointment on the books
unmade
there was a project in three phases
unphased
there were messages left on the phone
unreturned
there were stacks of mail in the box
unopened
there was packaged lunch in the frig
unpackaged
there were endless emails
unclicked
there were papers and files and faxes
unread
there were books on break
unturned
there was a sentence in a line
unfinished
there were flowers in a vase
untaken
there were things, so many things left
undone
there was the goodbye
the abrupt goodbye
so final
so surreal
unaccepted
