Everything Unfinished Sat on That Chair
Blue Chair
The blue chair had been in the corner of the bedroom for eleven years, though no one had sat in it for at least five.
It had become the place where unfinished things waited.
Clean laundry lay folded across its arms. A library book rested beneath a pair of jeans. One of the children’s red socks had been tucked between the cushions since Christmas. Whenever Claire noticed it, she told herself she would move everything tomorrow.
Then tomorrow arrived carrying lunches to pack, permission slips to sign, and another basket of clothes.
On the night her marriage broke open, the chair held a small gray sweater belonging to her youngest son.
Claire stared at that sweater while she cried.
