Adjustment
January 19th, 2000 by Jim Clark
I removed the bedsheets, took down the drapes and
replaced them with blinds, rearranged the furniture.
I painted the walls white, ripped up the carpet to
reveal the hardwood floors beneath, scrubbed the
bathtub and shower. All of her things are gone,
every last little reminder I can find.
And yet, as I walk down the hallway and into each
empty room, I can still smell her skin. Her laughter
bounces from wall to wall; an echo like torture.
