Afterward

West Virginia

Submitted for the October PAD, “Haiku.”
Other poets can be seen here.

I have lost my shoe
The party is over now
Sadly I depart

Based on the comments, I thought I should clarify this. I came across this exactly as photographed at the trail head. I figured whoever left the chair like this did not wake up feeling happy.
