Groceries
written by: James Gabriel

the taut
plastic handles
cut into her fingers
a man loaded
her groceries
into the trunk
the hallway
is longer
than she recalls
stopping at
the door to dig
for her keys
she sets the bags
down and sees
the creases
on her fingers,
in her skin
fade away
but not
as quickly
as they once did
