Before you returned by Kayte Young

“Before you returned

from treatment I rearranged

our room: turned the bed ninety

degrees switched the nightstands.

I didn’t want you to come home to

see that everything has changed

nothing is familiar. On the other

hand, I wanted you to see

that everything has changed

nothing is familiar.”

(Kayte Young)
