Notes Left Behind In An Empty House

Went to borrow
skin from Johnny —
back soon. Call if you need
anything — will be going by
the Louvre on the way home so…

~~~~~~~~

Have the kids the dog and dragon
Back by 3
Left something black in the fridge for you
Better than it looks! 
love

~~~~~~~~~

Did you pay the ferryman?
He called twice

~~~~~~~~~

Had to run to the ice pack
Forgot the reason why —
hope to remember
before I get there
Don’t wait up

~~~~~~~~~

Don’t open the cellar door!
Will explain when I get home
Remember I love ya

~~~~~~~~~

Peaches
We needed peaches
That’s right, peaches

~~~~~~~~~

I left 40,000 dollars for you
under the eaves of the old shed

I spoke kindly of you to Them
I hope it is enough

We aren’t likely to see each other again
for a long time

You would be best served by
forgetting me

as I shall forget you
I promise
