`

my finger traces
a still barely
visible band
on my 4th finger

our ex-anniversary
is now my memory

a constant companion
to might-have-beens

yesterday had so much
prospect and promise
today I face a sink
filled with dirty dishes

This reads like a snapshot from inside someone's emotional kitchen—where memory, disappointment, and survival all simmer. Very moving.
