Audrey Howitt Poetry, Alive and Well

the story of us
is written on notes
that now lie on a table
across from me

I closed the door on empty
finding my way back
with paper torn from abandoned books

their words sweeping me aside
pulling at my feet


I gathered them up
brought them home
lay them out before me

if I rearrange them
would we still be here?
