Witness

He watches my back

as

He sits across the room from me

and

Faces the flat screen TV

while

At my desk

Hunched over my computer

I do not know when he looks my way

Earbuds in, I do not hear him as he crosses the room

To stand behind me

“What are you doing?”

He asks

“Writing.”

I reply

I offer no other explanation

so

He returns to the chair and the television

while

I return to writing

sometimes

I wonder if he reads my blogs

 

 

 

one day

I will have to ask him

one day

When I am not writing
