Looking into the window of the abandoned house next door 
i see
that the
old lady was doing laundry when
(i don’t know why)
 she up and moved to the nursing home, 3 doors down
on the other side of the street.
She has a better ocean view now
the sea and her eye 
dance together
breathe salt and sway
look away
from the house
that she left
with the dirty socks inside
that she wonders about
every so often
