Hot Press

On the top stair
Hidden in the folds
Linen dark
Behind the brass
Overcoated
In warmth
I waited
For the creak,
Accidental fumbings,
Rummaging
And silent discovery.

The creak never came.

This is a good poem and I do like its sparsity, however, I feel that you're leaving a little too much out. Something is missing from it. I think the creak never coming comes too soon after it is first mentioned. The anticipation should come between the creak and it never coming.
