Dustcovers Off

Light   f a  d   e    s
               in the empty room
Paint splinters
              curling
Tearing away
                       from their
                                              surface
So many furnishings
Such splendid mementos
            once    s c a t t e r e d
Walls
         displaying          every          memory
All
       g  o   n   e     now
A certain presence
             the only treasure
                            that mattered
Echoing chambers
          now sit in
                                           abandonment
Gaunt frame
            in a chair
                            all tattered
H o l l o w   bones
       mourning
               the departed
Left to decay
                   in d i s a r r a y
Having held
                         no earthly value
As night
    overtakes             day
