Abandoned House at Sunset
written by: John Grey
Window half-reflective,
garden gone wild,
antique fireplace ablaze
as light makes a wild,
uneven, uncomfortable line.
The candle power of fading sun
casts odd reflections in shattered chairs,
a derelict room
that doesn’t look like it ever was lived in.
Rusty oak door hinges,
paint flakes as dull as old orange pith,
dust motes, floating
or gathering on porcelain –
sunset makes strange choices.
