The ceiling of our apartment is off white and sparse 

the floor,  cold and dark brown,  holds many things  

 

several pair of shoes, and a few singles

stacks of books and mostly empty grocery bags

 

The kitchen counter is a collection of food products, some open

others not used, disinterested and curious why we bought them 

 

in the hallway to our bedroom is a small table and a box of kleenex

next to a closet,  balls of socks that almost made it to the laundry 

 

small reminders of comfortable
