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
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
