Unfurnished Apartment by Jason Heroux

All the curtains      
are gone: moonlight
drifts across the floor

like a loose band-aid.
The corners of rooms   
are angels with walls

for wings wearing halos
made by spiders.
There are empty clothes

hangers hanging in the closet
bobbing gently in place
like ducks sleeping on water.
