Vacancy – Filling
Do you feel like you
Could be a paper doll with
Hole-punches where life
Chose to take a bite of you, yours,
Away, leaving vacancy?
Maybe like a hotel that
Once had No Occupancy
With loves residence;
Now windows without curtains
Remind you how much was lost.
Do you fade, shudder,
When memory comes to call
With bright photographs
Of yesterday, other days
When losses were yet to come?
Paste yourself together,
Renovate the rooms,
Bring the pictures out
Again because life will serve
Love, joy, happiness when
You invite it to visit you.
