The dusty floor has been unswept for years,
Ceramic tiles once pearly white now grey,
Or yellow with the small, round stains of tears;
Dried flowers, mold; the drinking cups decay.
They say she doesn’t live here anymore,
They never look this way when walking by;
Outside, the grass sways long and limp and poor;
The grass, the paint, the walls – the tears are dry.
A field nearby, below a patch of soil,
His bones, her hand, forever intertwined;
She curls her fingers; milk begins to spoil,
She stares, she holds a glass of acid wine.
At night she’ll leave her chair to close the door;
They say she doesn’t live here anymore.
