The diary lies open and emptyA clock strikes the next hour againFamily photos loose colour and yellowRaffle tickets bring hope to the pain. One cup stands by the teapotOne plate, one knife and one forkOne pairs of boots by the door for the winterTwo red roses tied in a knot. Silent, the doorbell is waitingfor fingers that never comeDust covers mementos in mourningthe stillness of a life well done. © Sheila Ash, 2014ashramblings
