Sad Poem

Five locked doors inside a demolished bungalow
Deaf mute on the stage with low-pitched sopranos
A Christmas card falling off from a 5- storey building
A fussy pussycat left with no choice
Broken glasses on my neighbor’s deathbed
Spanish guitar with lonely dead strings
The girl who wore black on her prom
A computer keyboard with missing keys
The violinist running away without a violin
The icing never hit the birthday cake before his interment
Withered petals in November
Lyrics about dreams that never were
The smiling child as the mother wept
Disconnection notice after the black-out
