Questions for the abandoned

sightless eyes

but not silent,

can the unseeing

see all the passers by?

vacancy inside

empty rooms and deep in memory

memories that are empty too

echoes, nonexistent,

fill all of the rank, motionless space

can they be heard from the street

is there even

an outside?

the windows sit, so quiet

darkness

it covers everything inside,

speechless but breathing,

grave sighs,

but do ghosts exist when there's no one to see them?

the corners bleed...

the stairs, the walls

no light left now to illuminate

no human voices,

no warmth to make whole

the cars pass it by, life moving past the past

and

it sits, unto itself

black hole doors and broken pillars.
