embers dying at the grate
cobwebs lining the corners like lace
the air is musty and filled with loneliness
and memories i can't seem to erase.

i pick up my briefcase
and wander inside
into a cavity of memoirs
that are clawing my mind.

i discover photos
hidden behind the mantelpiece
faded to grey
the comfort of the sight putting me at ease.

a layer of dust on the belongings of my desk
i spot an old manuscript
forgotten words, forgotten efforts
it lays in a crypt.

i settle on the futon
with a moth eaten photo album
recalling late times
of memories random.
