emptying house

the almost empty house
feels frightening
and spacious

box in every
room for
leftovers

cleaning supplies
minimal clothes housewares
computers

nervous about my
cleaning abilities
and stamina

want to disobey
the rules
of staging

indispensable:
the grill and
composter

bicycles in basement
will be transported
on the bike rack

want to count down
but no date yet
on either end
