The house sounds differently now -Silence amplifies the creaky third tread,The ill-fitting window frame,The warped sitting room door.The lack of her voice ricochets round.Time passes differently now -Dinner eaten in five minutes,Frozen meals last twice as long,Milk sours before the bottle’s drunk,Trash put out every other week.Life is shaped differently now -Her chair is occupied only by her scent,He never completes the crossword,A lone toothbrush lies beside the paste,The bed has one pillow.Love shows itself differently now -Re-watching her favourite movie,Dusting her photo frame,Tending her pelargoniums,Feeding her darned cat.© Sheila Ash, 2018ashramblings
