I had to dig through the gas bills
to find the card for the local vet.
I peeled back the note from my sister,
a thing I keep trying to forget.
The tape is brown and snaps like a bone.
The fridge door has a yellow stain
where the paper used to be.
It’s funny how the shadow stays
long after the paper is gone.
