Pour a Glass and Wait

There’s nothing to wait for anymore

There’s nothing to wait for anymore

I buy his favorite wine
And wait
I drink the white wine that I like best
Put cheese and crackers on a plate 
His chair is empty
I watch the door
The threshold he will cross 
No more

His favorite soda is kept
In my house
Snug between the juice and the milk
The only drink here 
That never runs out
But…
