just the removal man

there's a gap appearing in your life and
home soon.
and I wonder if its really for me to fill
or i'm just the removal man
who came to help you spring clean
ready for an autumn dirtstorm to roll
its way through your door
dirtying your step with leaves
and leaving someone new after the cold passes.
if so, then I’ll keep my cap on
and keep my sleeves rolled back
and lift heavy furniture for you
and sweep under the rug to make sure
nothing remains,
for your new visitor.
I can help you stock the cupboard one last time
and light a candle.
and brew pumpkin beer and caramel coffee
so it smells inviting, as I leave
and your new guest comes in,
like this seasons calm.
