• Abandoned Home

abandoned home –

“Sorrow” still losing it, (solo) by misusing it.
Gaming tomorrow, labeling it “the future.”
“Home” only after an appointed departure,
To the door’s shut, and the window’s stuck.

The outcome blames these so stealth ways.
Welcome on carpet, no key under the vase.
The walls’ colors have faded into long ago.
The sun is given, the driven makes shadow.

It takes a lot just to make that “once what”
…but only takes once to lose that thought.
A single guess tries its best not to say: Yes!
Today’s return comes in to invest concern:

Asking whom looked back in the last moon.
The distance carries their equal instances.
The wind blows its gate; too close to locate.
The house echoes its creeks; no one speaks.
