Beads, from a broken necklace,
strewn across the floor.

They lay still, along with
a hastily removed red dress,
unraveled stockings and
a set of lingerie,

as well as a single black shoe.
leaning against the wall.

The other halfway on her right foot
leaning off the edge of the bed
Catching its breath.
