The Grieving Silence of An Empty House
When the silence
of their empty house
proved deafening ..
Instead of leaning in,
she turned away
from him and his kin ..
But it wasn’t
always like that now
was it darling ..
And the key may yet
be found
just where he left it ..
Should she ever
need it again that is
or in case by some chance ..
A stranger might be
listening,
or wondering even ..
What they know
about loss, about lust,
about longing, or love even ..
