that night

by Elisa Hinson - Aquarius

that night
he noticed...

that my hair
smelled different

like a day at the beach
     or something
        he said

pulling me into
his arms
as he told me
he liked the change

letting me go
as he began
to unpack

     putting his clothes
       back on hangers
     his pillows back on
          the bed 

filling in all
the empty space
he'd left behind

asking what i'd
been up to 
since he was away.
