She Sits

in a small shadowy room

twilight gone astray

alone again.

He called and cancelled

the date. Doesn’t

understand her loss

of another good person--

a friend and confidant.

Looking out a messy

window stars still

bright -- Ursa Major

pointing to North

and she takes comfort

in its constant gaze

upon her heart.

She must try again

see if Bill would like

to come chase up

a coffee -- and

reaches for the phone.
