Reason

In the note that she left on the dining table
she did not mention the reason
for leaving him.

He stood there for long, holding the chair
then made himself a drink
and sat down to read it again.

He tore it neatly, four square pieces
finished his drink
and looked inside the glass at ice.

Then he stood for another glass
and while pouring JD over ice,
thought that she forgot the reason.
