Marks made by a knife, of a name since inscribed. Of a purpose made long forgotten. Words of name of a man that had left.
Indication of a lost possession and of somebody walking out of a door. Plastic valleys made.
A toddler had dug his finger into the royal buttercream, he was far away. He came from down the stairs, called to play with him. Then, that was the last time.
He's gone, these marks remain. Forces, out of one's control.
