A goddess has just checked out and left no forwarding address.
She won’t be back.
She got so bored with waiting.
For so many years you spoke of her slightingly.
Telephone calls.
The unshared drinks at six.
She took in movies, slept late.
Oh, yes she knew you, expected you.
If she was lying in a bath relaxing
and fingering the soap as goddesses do
she was certainly working out an alias
We only know them under other names
They change as the light falls on a building,
changing it
Perhaps she even had a name for you ...
Long lunches, scented bedrooms, cold trays
with hot coffee and perhaps an egg
She had the life of an émigrée, the small
dictatorial smile for room service,
kept clean, kept beautiful
But now she’s gone
You won’t see her
again or ever
It’s an empty room
