workday residue

arqios

 

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.
