shift

When
the light
hit it
just right
she saw
the keyboard
the N
the E the
S and
the A
the right shift
bar where
she could
almost
see
her thumb
print
having rubbed them
shiny
and smooth
Y the Q the {
and
the Z
still dull
waiting for
the bruise
of use the
proof
that she
had
been
there that some
one had
been there
like the cold window
full of
blank
in
visible
words I
love
you after
the steam
hit.
