I Am the Other Woman

I roll over and touch 
the side of the bed, where you lay
                                                  
                                                    when you stay

even empty, i sense your body
envision your dark haired contrast
on the white pillow case
where I bury my face, to catch your scent

                                                    before sleep


i accept your absence, from many days past
waiting in the wings of some great play
where the first act

                                                    never ends
