Poetry: Struggle

by Deborah Trendel

Created on: December 13, 2007

Backyard Bones



I am slipping away

And

when the door closes

And

the lights fade to blackness

All that will be left of me

Is an empty house
With a stack of mail
Stamped "past due"

The horses
Will find another mother

And

The house
Will keep someone else
Warm at night

And in time

The bones of another
Will be dug up
In the backyard

As if
Nothing ever happened
