The Music Lover (2)

After his wife went her own way

he called it another lonely day

The house was empty.

The room was empty.

In the dark who could see his face?

In the dark who could reach him?

He kept the blind down on the window

He kept the pain on the inside.

He shot out the lights.

He could not sit still

even to listen to music.

Music did not help

it gave him ideas about emotions

he didn't like.

The next morning he went down to the Chelsea drugstore

and sold all his records.
