The scaffolding outside
rattles in the wind,
its joints recollecting
the weight of workers.
On my desk—
a stack of receipts,
ink already fading,
edges curled like tired hands.
The room is empty,
but the residue of voices
still leans against the walls.

There is a loneliness and melancholy feel to this poem as if a hollowness was echoing a distant message from the past.
