55 - Abandoned, Alone

Abandoned

Grass gone hippy-shaggy

Paint peeling,

as birch-bark does

revealing not new growth,

but faded glory

once sunny yellow,

now dull grey

those vacant windows,

no longer adorned

with lacy curtains,

coyly blinking-

waving 

in a breeze, instead

empty eyes wearily stare

at the abandoned yard

where kids once played

its  life extinguished,

empty house

Mourns.
